I've modified this slow cooker reciepe to use ingredients that I normally keep on hand in the kitchen

Ingredients

2 cup Potato(es), cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 Large carrot(s), diced

1 cup Leek(s), chopped, white part only

1 Medium garlic clove(s), minced

4 cup Fat-free chicken broth

1/2 cup Uncooked barley, pearl

1 piece Bay leaf

1/4 tsp Dried thyme, crushed

1/4 tsp Black pepper

4 oz Cooked Canadian-style bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

1/2 cup Fat-free evaporated milk

2 Fl oz fat-free creamer, such as fat-free half-and-half

Preparation

In a slow cooker, combine potatoes, carrots, leek, garlic, chicken broth, barley, bay leaf, thyme, pepper and Canadian bacon. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until vegetables and barley are tender.

Stir in evaporated milk and half-and-half and heat through uncovered, about 10 minutes. Yields about 1 1/4 cups per serving.

I modified this reciepe with just adding potatoes, carrots, (no leeks), (no garlic), 1/2 chicken broth and 1/2 water, (no barley - used orzo instead), bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, bacon, and added cubed ham and cut up celery. Then added evaporated milk (no creamer - little corn starch)

Cook's Notes

WW says it's 2 pts per serving but with the ham and other additions I'm giving it 4 pts
