✅ Slimming / Weight Watchers Notes:

• Zero WW Points (on most plans) because it’s all non-starchy veggies and broth!
• Eat it as a starter before meals to help control appetite.
• Freezes beautifully → batch cook and portion into containers.
• To make it heartier (still low points), add:
  • Lean protein (chicken breast, turkey, or beans)
  • Extra metabolism-boosting spices (ginger, turmeric, cayenne)
