Mom Lunch Recipe?

During the day I frequenly struggle with finding good, healthy things to eat at lunch time.... ....especially since I am trying to lose weight. Today I tried a recipe out of my favorite Italian cookbook that is low in calories (90) and only 4g of fat. It is only 2 Weight Watchers points. I made a 1/2 recipe so that I could have it today for lunch and then will have 3 servings leftover in the fridge for other days. I ate it with a 1/2 slice of sprouted, multi-grain toast. It was great!! (and I really don't like cooked spinach... but I liked this!)

Spinach-Polenta Soup

8 servings

2 Tbsp. olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1/2 c. finely chopped onion

1 bag (16 oz) frozen chopped spinach

3 cans (14.5 oz each) vegatable broth

1 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp. dried)

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

1. Cook garlic and onion in hot oil about 5 minutes, stirring occassionally, until onion is tender.

2. Stir in frozen spinach and broth. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Stir in remaining ingredients except cornmeal. GRADUALLY stir in cornmeal. (stir the soup constantly so the cornmeal won't clump)

3. Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until soup is thickened.
