Weight Watchers Taco Soup is a filling and delicious soup that anyone would love, whether they are following WW or not! This is one of those Weight Watchers recipes that will be on your regular meal rotation because it is low points and so yummy!
DIFFERENT TACO SOUP VARIATIONS
There are SO many different ways to make taco soup. Before I was watching my calories, my go-to taco soup recipe had a few different ingredients than this recipe does.
I have seen taco soup made in the Instant Pot, slow cooker, and on the stovetop.
I adore slow cooker soup recipes, but I don't always remember to get it going in the morning. 😥 When this happens, I need a quick stovetop solution!
If you are being careful about what you eat, making taco soup a traditional way may add way too many calories! It is amazing how quickly ingredients add up.
One of the best variations for taco soup is to use ground turkey instead of ground beef. The ground turkey will save many WW points and can help make the recipe zero points!
WW POINTS FOR TACO SOUP
This specific WW taco soup recipe is zero points on the blue and purple myWW plans if you make it, just like I have listed below. The key to keeping it at zero points is to use the 99% fat-free ground turkey breast in the recipe. The green plan is 4 points.
Using a store-bought packet of taco seasoning in this soup CAN add points. My recipe uses spices from your pantry, and they are zero points.
Feel free to add MORE veggies if you like because those won't add any points and only add more nutrients to the bowl.
Now…here is the hard part. Everyone knows taco soup is extra good when you pile on the cheese, sour cream, etc, to the top of the bowl. These things will affect the points for your meal.
The good news is that since the soup is zero points (on blue and purple plans), you may have some extra points to spare for a little bit of cheese, sour cream, or tortilla chips.
TIP: if you make your own tortilla chips using the Mission Extra Thin Corn Tortillas
On the current WeightWatchers Program (2023) it is ZERO points per serving.
