    The entire family loved this – I was definitely full after a bowl and this is still my first week of WW. I had points to spare so I topped with about 1/2 an oz of Parmesan cheese – was definitely delicious and will be added to our rotation.

    By the way, I did make this tonight and it was delicious! I added 2 tablespoons of chili powder and a teaspoon of onion powder towards the end to give it a little more flavor. Great recipe!

    If this is following the OLD WW points program, it would only be worth 3 points per serving. The formula is 50 calories = 1 point, add 1 point per 4 grams of fat, subtract another per 4 grams of fiber. So 4 points for the 198 calories, subtract a point for the fiber.
