Angel Hair & Fresh Vegetable Soup

Here’s another points+-friendly recipe for you. And this one was actually good! ;) It says this is about 1 point per serving, so I guess it’s maybe 2-3 points+ per serving. Either way, it’s really good! We really had no complaints on this one. We had some left over the next day for lunch, and Toby said he liked it even MORE the next day. He said he prefers the red pepper to be a little softer. This came together very quickly, and it’s great on a cold or rainy day!
