How many Weight Watchers points is taco soup?

The points vary depending on your ingredients and plan. On average, this recipe ranges from 0 to 4 points per serving. Use lean ground turkey, no-salt-added beans, and skip the oil to keep your count low.

What are the ingredients to taco soup?

You’ll need: 1 lb lean ground turkey, 1 can each of black beans, kidney beans, corn, and diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, and optional extras like green chilies or broth. It's a simple mix that creates a bold flavor.

What can I substitute for beef broth in taco soup?

Chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water with garlic powder and onion powder work well. Just make sure to account for added points if you’re using anything with fat or sodium.

What’s the difference between taco soup and tortilla soup?

Taco soup is thicker, made with ground meat and beans. Tortilla soup usually has shredded chicken and a brothier base. Taco soup fills you up quicker and usually stays lower in points.
