Hi Group, In the winter I love to use a slow cooker or crockpot to make stew or hearty soup. I don't
use a recipe..so how do I figure the points?

Here's what I made today... 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (almost like chicken strips) 1 cup
frozen peas 1 cup frozen green beans 1 can each drained garbanzo beans and small northern beans 1
cup baby carrots, tossed in whole.(put them on the bottom so they cook fully) 2 cans sliced stewed
tomatoes, plus juice. 2 T minced garlic 2 T italian herbs salt and pepper.

I am also going to add 1 c seashell pasta towards the end of cooking. 1 cup of water...I may add
more water later on, too. Think minestrone without the kidney beans! ( I loathe kidney beans) It's
all low fat, and no added oils. Teresa

just figure out the points for what you have there, then add it up and
divide by the number of servings, and this sounds good too, Lee

OK Ray,(and thanks by the way)

So how do I estimate the servings?

it looks as if I might get 10 servings or more from the total meal. This is all totally new to
me! teresa
 
It was really good. My daughter's friends cried when my husband poured the last cup down the drain-
he expected nobody wanted to eat it a third day...and they wanted to take it home! Next time I am
going to use those frozen meatballs instead of chicken...slow cookers are so EASY. Teresa
 
If you get 10 servings, it looks like it works out to 5 points a serving. Formula is calories + fat
grams x 4 - fiber grams x 10 (cap at 4 grams) all divided by 50.
