Five Point Lasagna Soup

Its my mission to find easy, healthy dinners that taste great. This is one of them. I thought it tasted great last night, but for lunch today it was even better.  This recipe is modified from the the deen brother's website. It's a hearty soup that's also healthy. The recipe is 5 Weight Watcher's points for a one cup serving. This soup is a little time consuming, but its definitely worth the wait. Enjoy!
