Mexican Cheese Soup!

So I am whipping up a batch of Mexican Cheese Soup. Its sooooo good. And you know what, only 8 points a serving!

If I make it at home and use the leaner beef and cut the beef portion in half, its 5 points. Or you can put all the "beef" in by using the morningstar meal starters!
(I also updating the Nutritional Info links with Morningstar Products!)

I am so excited I might just go running today! ;-D
