Trading Tada Tamale Soup recipe for Progresso Soup Souper You Contest Vote

So you're trying to watch calories and Mexican food is calling your name. Love tamales but gave them up because by the time you covered them in chili and cheese you’re on calorie overload and can't eat anything for days or have to exercise forever to make up for it? Don’t despair. A few quick ingredients and craving solved. Be prepared for yumminess (yes, I'm declaring this is a word!). My husband even said he liked this better than the chili/cheese combo:

Lady Mac’s Tada Tamale Soup
Estimate Weight Watcher Points for full pot of soup – 28 (4 to 6 servings – this is up to you)

Saute 1 diced onion ( I prefer yellow, but pretty much any onion will do) in 1 tablespoon of oil.
Add 2 cans Progresso Light Soup’s Southwestern-Style Vegetable Soup.
Add 1 can diced, fire-roasted tomatoes (don’t drain).
Cook on medium heat until heated through.

While soup is heating, slice tamales into bite sized pieces. I used Pedro’s Pork Tamales. (WW points may vary if you use a different brand).

Once the soup has heated through, toss in the tamale bites. Heat just long enough to warm the tamales. (Over cook and you get mushy soup. We like it this way thought too!)

Tada – dinner’s ready, soup’s on! Enjoy!

Optional - adding diced bell peppers (any color) and/or diced jalapeno peppers would also be good. You're on your own when it comes to level of heat you add in.

And of course, please keep voting daily for me until April 12!
