Introduction

This beefy soup is perfectly flavored with artichokes and tomatoes. For people doing Weight Watchers, all ingredients except beef are zero points, so each serving is just 2 points. It can also be made with just one pound of beef and then is just one points for a serving.

If your ingredients include salt, decrease or omit the added salt. You can always add if needed when serving.

Both versions are extremely satisfying. Since starting to lose weight, I had missed artichoke/spinach dip! I experimented with this recipe and no longer miss that dip! This is better. This also satisfies my steak needs. This beefy soup is perfectly flavored with artichokes and tomatoes.

Tips

The amounts for tomatoes, artichokes and black eyed peas are just one 14 1/2 oz can for each. I had to convert them to grams to set up the recipe. Even if you think you “don’t like” tofu, put it in. If you taste it, it will taste like the wonderful liquid. Of course, if you’re allergic or not supposed to eat it, don’t.


Directions

Cut trimmed steak into strips approximately 3” x 1”.

Layer in bottom of lined slow cooker in this order:
Beef broth
