Hi Suzibell

Yum, this sounds great! I was curious though, at the top it says 5 pts, but at the bottom it says 5.5pts. It also says 2% cheese, do you know what it would be with light cheese? You could probably use light cheese, reduce the beef, and add more veggies (maybe california mix) and reduce the points even further! I think I'll play around with it!

Okay, I just figured out the recipe using individual points...I got 6.26pts per serving (based on 10 servings) Here's what I used:

12 ozs ground beef, extra lean -- cooked weight 24pts
1 c chopped carrots 1pt
1 c chopped celery 0pts
4 c potatoes -- peeled and cubed 12pts
2 tsps basil 0pts
1 tbsp parsley 0pts
3 c fat free chicken broth 0pts
3 tbsps butter 9pts
1/4 c flour 2pts
8 ozs Cheddar cheese, KRAFT 2% -- shredded 10.6pts
1 1/2 c skim milk 3pts
3/4 tsp salt 0pts
1/4 tsp black pepper 0pts
1/4 c fat free sour Cream 1pt

Total of 62.6pts/10servings = 6.26 each...maybe I have the wrong point value for something...can somebody double check this for me?

I changed the points above. I count it as 5 points for 1 cup and 11 points for 2 cups. That is where the 5.5 came from.

I also calculate my points based on calories, fat grams and fiber of the recipe not points for each ingredient. When I put 235 calories, 12 g fat and 2 g fiber in my WW points calculator I get 5.

I am so excited to try this. My mom makes a version of Cheez Burger Soup that is outstanding.

Before WW I was avoiding cheez to have a healthier diet, but I love cheez (I think it has something do with being from WI). I can't wait to bring it back into my diet and even stay OP.

I made the cheeseburger soup a couple of weeks ago and it was great. My whole family loved it and are asking for it again soon. Thanks,

It sounds yummy. It also seams to be high inn points for a soup. I think I would cut back on the meat some, and increase the veggies to get more bang for my buck.

Do you think you need the milk in it? I might use canned cheese soup, or Valveeta to cut back on points.


any other ideas??
