Veggies: Taco soup has yellow onion, a can of black beans, a can of kidney beans, a can of corn, a can of diced tomatoes, and a can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies.
Seasoning: Keep it simple with a 1-ounce package of taco seasoning from the store or make your own. You’ll also need a 1-ounce package of ranch seasoning mix.

HOW TO MAKE WEIGHT WATCHERS TACO SOUP
STEP ONE: Start by browning the diced onion and ground turkey in a large stock pot. Once browned, drain any excess fat from the meat and stir in both packages of the dry taco seasoning and dry ranch seasoning mixes.
STEP TWO: Add the canned black beans and kidney beans as well as the corn, diced tomatoes, and Rotel tomatoes and chilies. Stir the ingredients together and cover the stock pot with a lid.
STEP THREE: Simmer the Weight Watchers Taco Soup for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve this delicious soup immediately and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
- This flavorful soup is 1 WW point per 1 cup serving on the Freestyle program.
- I love to portion this soup into individual servings and freeze them.
HOW TO STORE AND REHEAT TACO SOUP
Soups make the ultimate leftovers and this taco soup recipe is no exception! Simply store any leftovers in an airtight container and place them in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you’re ready to reheat, place the soup in a pot and reheat it on the stovetop. You can microwave this soup as well but make sure to cover the bowl with a paper towel or microwave-safe splash guard to keep your microwave clean.
HOW TO FREEZE WEIGHT WATCHERS TACO SOUP
I love to keep this soup on hand in the freezer for days when I don’t have time to cook a healthy meal. Sometimes, I even double this recipe, so I have lots of leftovers to freeze for the future. I pour room temperature, single portions of soup into zipper freezer bags and freeze them flat. Once they’re frozen solid, you can easily stack them in the freezer, which is a great space saver.
When you’re ready to reheat a serving, defrost Weight Watchers Taco Soup in the fridge the night before and transfer it to a pot or microwave-safe dish. Do not microwave the soup in the freezer bag.

Notes

I made this a couple of days ago. To me it didn’t have much taste. So I added cumin, half pkg of taco seasoning, can of tomato sauce and a can of green chili. The next day (after being in the frig) it was too spicy, so after googling I added a little honey to a 1 1/2 cup portion and it was perfect. It’s more like chili instead of soup without adding more chicken broth. Haven’t figured out extra points yet. It filled a smaller dutch oven pot. A lot left over with 1 1/2 c portions.
Love this recipe I make it once a week and have it for lunch for several days. I edited it to make it Zero points. I use a homemade taco seasoning mix and a home made vegan ranch dressing mix. I leave out any thickeners such as corn starch and the vegan ranch dressing eliminates the dairy. I make a large batch of the combined seasoning mixes and then measure out 6-7 tablespoons per pot of soup.
My seasoning mix for “one” pot of soup:
2 T Nutritional Yeast
4 t minced onion flakes (dehydrated onion)
1 tbsp. dried parsley
1 ¼ tsp. dried dill
½ tsp dried chives
1 ½ tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cumin
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
This was delicious. My hubby and I both liked it. Super easy. I used some leftover rotisserie chicken. It would also be perfect for the freezer. Next time I’ll make a double batch. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been making this yummy soup for years. It’s easy, quick, tasty, inexpensive and my husband loves it! Thanks for the recipe…it will forever have a place in our kitchen.
This was delicious. I used left over rotisserie chicken and made the recipe as stated. Great flavor and just the right amount of heat for us (not too hot). I will Definitely be making this again and again
Can you prepare this without the meat, just veggies?
Hey Sharman! Without the meat it would need way less seasoning unless you plan on adding extra beans or veggies. Hope this helps!
I have to do old ww my doctor does not like new 2019 ww I am a diabetic, can you tell me what the points are for old way thanks
Hey Cindy, I’m not sure how to calculate the points for the older system.
So where are we with the points per serving on this soup? I also came up with 8pts.
Hey Dawn, this is just 1-point for a 1 cup serving…there are 8 servings in the entire dish. Hope this helps.
Delicious, easy, and fast! Serve with a squeeze of lime and fresh cilantro to take it to the next level!
So glad you liked it and were able to add a couple of extra ingredients to make it extra yummy!
Loved it! Added fat free refrained beans, a can of diced Ortega chilies, and chopped spinach.
Awesome! Thank you, Barbara.
Really love this soup! Will be freezing it in individual containers to take to work for lunch.
I love when I have leftover soup to enjoy for a later day! Thank you, Ginny.
This taco soup is very easy to make and loaded with flavor. I substituted chicken for turkey which brings the WW points to 0. I also used shoe peg corn. The recipe is easily doubled.
Great idea with the turkey! Thank you, Laurellye.
Just made this in my instapot. It’s fabulous
Awesome!! You made an easy recipe even easier 🙂
I want to use 93% lean turkey. Have you ever done that? Thanks!
It shouldn’t be a problem. It may slightly change the nutrition facts but as long as you’re keeping within the portion sizes you should be just fine.
Made it with ground turkey and ground beef. Delicious both ways.
I just tried your recipe for Weight Watchers Taco Soup. It’s fantastic. But, I do have a question. I put the nutrition facts included at the end of the recipe into my Weight Watchers app, and it came back at 8 pts per serving (vs 1). I assumed the nutrition facts were per serving but perhaps they are for all 8 servings??
Looks great but could you use individual seasonings to perhaps lower the high sodium content? Which would you recommend?
Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, Oregano, Paprika, Ground Cumin, Sea Salt. All great seasonings that most taco seasonings are made of.
New to weight watchers and trying to navigate tracking through the app… I put in the nutrition from your site and it said the soup was 17 points… am I doing something wrong? Any help would be very much appreciated! 🙂
I apologize that it took so long to get back to you. I was able to go back through the recipe and realized there were a few errors in the way the nutrition calculated, as you check back you will see the difference. I logged into my WW accounts to see if the points based on the ingredients differed for any reason and I still come up with 8 points for the recipe but less for an actual serving. Unfortunately everyone uses the app differently so where I would like to be able to help guide you I’m afraid I wouldn’t have a better way to explain.
I believe the way you calculate it is by dividing all points of all ingredients and dividing it by the number of servings. I am also new to W.W. and I certainly recommend attending your meetings regularly. Rhis helped me get started. I also felt like I wasnt calculating things correctly.
I created a recipe on the app and added all the ingredients and it’s coming up as 0 points per serving. All ingredients are on the 0 point food list.
What is the serving size? Thank you!
1 1/3 cup.
Very Tasty and filling!
My thoughts exactly!
These recipes look easy to make. I am trying to eat low carb. I hope you have some recipes!
Thanks!!!

Hi! I’m new to WW… the nutritional facts at the bottom of the page… is that for the entire soup?
Angel, that is per serving and there are 8 servings in the recipe. Enjoy!
