I am looking for a lentil soup recipe that was in the Weight Watchers materials in the late 1980s and/or 1990s. It was in one of the booklets and had zucchini in the recipe.
I would substitute lentils for the cauliflower in this Weignt Watchers recipe. simple-nourished-living.com/
I'm not sure but it sounds like you may be referring to the WW Lentil soup recipes that were really popular and called "Zero Point Soups".
There seems to be several version so you may have to look at some of the recipes to see if one matches what you are looking for..
Generally these soups were a combination of items on the WW's list of 0 points and could be added or subtracted according to what you had on hand.
Some people used the cabbage soup recipes and substituted zucchini in place of cabbage.
The following have different versions but you can see they are all basically the same but just adding or subtracting different vegetables.
Most can be cooked in a slow cooker.
Sometimes you have to go down the site to find the recipe.
I am looking for a WW chocolate dessert from 1984. It was made in a square dish. It was the very best ever. Does anyone have it? There was a strawberry one at the same time.
You can look at this recipe but I do not believe it is the one you are looking for.
The recipe is about half way down the page (lots of ads).

This cake is based on the point system and I believe the point system started in the 90's but it could still be the same recipe.
Weight Watchers cook books are found in many thrift stores and usually cost less than $2 but be sure you look at dates of publication and also recipes will be based on the exchange system.
Here are some of the ones that will probably have this recipe.
You can find these vintage books online but be sure to ask the seller if this book has the chocolate cake recipe.

I have been looking for an old WW lunch recipe that had tuna on toast, topped with asparagus, a type of Swiss, mayo, and Dijon mustard or mustard seasoning sauce on it. You would then broil it until the cheese melted. My daughter remembered the recipe from when she was a child and wanted the recipe, but I can't find it now.

I am trying to follow Weight Watchers and my husband likes bread from the bread machine. Does anyone have a low carb (maybe 1 point) recipe for bread without using whole wheat flour?
By Cathy
Bread is made from flour which is carbohydrate, but we need that for energy. The trick is to have carbs with fiber, which is
why whole wheat is recommended. Body process it slower. However, I think I saw white whole wheat flour in Walmart the
