But from way back when I started calculating points back in ---- um, 2002 -- whenever I cooked something, I counted every ingredient, even when WW called the ingredients “free”. I just didn’t want to make the distinction nor to keep up with WW’s frequent changes on what’s free and what’s not. We all know that this is a really healthy low-calorie, low-carb soup. Count the points in whatever way is comfortable to you.
