This is a zero-point soup, as described with ingredients below.  The image is courtesy of Weight Watchers UK, who advise that if you want to bulk this soup up just a touch, you can sprinkle two teaspoons of parmesan cheese into and over this tasty soup for the princely sum of a single Weight Watchers point.

It's up to you if you want to spend the point.  If not, enjoy the fabulous taste and filling quality of the basic soup for no points at all.
