How to Eat Soup and Lose Weight on Weight Watchers

As someone at WW Lifetime and maintaining a 100 pound weight loss, I’m a big fan of using soups (especially zero point ones) to help you lose weight and keep it off.

I make a batch of soup on the weekends (this WW turkey chili or WW vegetarian chili are probably the ones I make most often) and eat it for my lunches during the week.

Soup and chili are quick, easy, and filling, and for zero points, I still have plenty of points left for the rest of the day.

Research has shown that eating soup can help lose weight because it’s filling and hydrating. Soup can also help you feel more full for a longer period of time which makes it a winner in my book.

These soups also freeze well, making them perfect for weight loss meal prep.

This soup is full of protein and fiber to keep you full.

This hearty soup has plenty of protein, which makes it great for satisfaction and is especially important for those taking a GLP-1 medication because it helps to preserve muscle.

You’ll love this quick dump-and-go recipe for a busy weeknight. You can even put all the ingredients in your crock pot in the morning and come home to this wonderful meal. What could be easier?

Easy & Healthy Chicken Taco Soup Recipe – Step by Step with Photos

Here’s how to make this delicious, filling Taco Soup either in the Instant Pot, stovetop, or slow cooker.

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

Gather a few simple ingredients.

Gather your ingredients. If desired, add a packet of taco seasoning mix. This adds great extra flavor but quite a bit of additional sodium. The spice from the Rotel tomatoes might be enough for you in this recipe.

Step 2: Combine & Cook

Combine all ingredients in an Instant Pot or a pot on the stove top. Chicken may still be frozen. Drain beans and corn. Do not drain tomatoes.

Shred chicken. We used chicken breast.

Step 3: Shred Chicken and Serve

Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred or chop. Add back to the soup.

Heat the chicken in the soup, and then dig in!

Dig in and enjoy this delicious soup.

Serve with plain, non-fat Greek yogurt (a great zero-point sour cream replacement), avocado, baked tortilla chips or Good Thins corn ones, lime, or low-fat shredded cheddar cheese.

1 can black beans drained and rinsed, 15 ounces
32 ounces chicken broth (4 cups)
1 can tomatoes with green chilis such as Rotel, 10 ounces, undrained
1 can diced tomatoes undrained, 15 ounces
1¼ pounds chicken breast whole, raw, about 4 small breasts

Taco Seasoning

1 Tbsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Instant Pot

Add white chili beans, black beans, corn, petite diced tomatoes and tomatoes with green chilies, chicken broth and chicken breast to your Instant Pot.
Combine taco seasonings and add to Instant Pot. Stir gently.
Place lid on top, latch into place and turn valve to the seal position.
Press the “manual” button. Use the +/- button to set to 14 minutes.
It will take about 10 minutes for it to reach pressure then your count down time will start. Once your instant pot beeps and lets you know your soup is ready allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. Then carefully change the valve to release.
Once pressure is fully released, carefully remove the lid. Take out the chicken breasts and use a meat thermometer to make sure your chicken is at least 165 degrees. (If it is not at least 165 degrees, place it back in your pot and set the time for 2 mins.) Using two forks, shred the chicken, then place it back in the pot and give it a good stir. Serve and enjoy!

Stovetop

Place all ingredients in large soup pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer.
Simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove chicken, shred, and return to pot. Serve and enjoy.
