Peas and Carrots Soup with Dumplings

Bowl of Peas and Carrots Soup with Dumplings on a green towl

With all the snow and cold weather we have been having here in the midwest, I thought a comfort food was in order. Dumplings… can you think of anything more comforting than dumplings! Mmmmmmm.

Now I know all of your diet alarms are going off, but silence those sirens! I have been on and off Weight Watchers for many years ( currently on) and when you plug all these ingredients into their system, it was only 6 points a serving.

I divided this into 6 servings, but you could also do 4 for a hardier serving. Those of you who have never been on WW, 6 points is really good. So sit down and enjoy this warm, filling, HEALTHY bowl of goodness!

  5. Add the chopped fresh herbs to the biscuit batter and combine.
