Barb,

Here it is:

3 zucchini, chopped
1 and 1/4 C. eggplant, chopped
1 yellow squash, chopped
! C. water or low-sodium organic chicken broth
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes with chili (That's what it says, but I think it means chili seasoning. That's what I used.)
1 can (14.5 oz.) no-salt added whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped (seems like you could just get them already chopped, but this recipe seems to enjoy chopping - probably to work off any residual anger over love gone wrong)
2 jars (4 oz. each) sliced, drained mushrooms (I used fresh mushrooms)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 t. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Combine in large pot, stir, boil, reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese when served (4 servings, 80 calories each)

DO NOT. I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE THIS STUFF TO A PITCH-IN. SOMEBODY WILL THROW YOUR SKINNY :edit: OUT SO FAST YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHAT HIT YOU. -- unless, you back it up with some of that wicked, wicked Hellman's on French bread with garlic salt and ground pepper. Then they will let you stay.

Barb, I just looked back at what I wrote in the earlier post. I guess this soup helped Valerie or helps her now or something. The article talks about her Jenny Craig success.
