If you want to add a can of chili beans (15 oz) it is 2 points per serving!
I love the original Weight Watchers Taco Soup recipe....
but sometimes, I get tired of using hamburger or ground turkey!
So, tonight I chose shredded chicken instead of hamburger. My family loved it and it is my new favorite. Jase even asked for seconds...
Here is the recipe -
1 Whole Chicken Breast (Shredded)
1 Medium Onion (Diced)
1 package of Ranch Seasoning
1 package of Taco Seasoning
1 Can of Corn
2 Can of Pinto Beans
1 Can of Black Beans (Low Sodium)
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes (Low Sodium)
1 Can of Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies
1/2 Lime Freshly Squeezed (OPTIONAL but AMAZING)
Optional: 1 Can of Chili Beans - Add 2 smart points per serving!
Serves: 8
1 Serving = 0 Smart Points
1. Bring 4 cups of water to boil. Add 1 thawed chicken breast to the water. Cook chicken completely (or grill chicken). Drain and Shred. Season liberally with parsley, paprika, and garlic powder. I always add fresh cilantro and fresh parsley if I have it on hand.
2. Return Chicken to pot. Add the rest of the ingredients. Do not drain the cans. (I only use 1/2 package of the ranch seasoning and 1/2 package of the taco seasoning to keep the sodium levels down.)
3. Simmer for 1 hour.
4. Serve with tortilla shells, shredded cheese, low-fat sour cream or freshly squeezed lime juice.
I love to tear up half of a tortilla shell (3 points) and add freshly squeezed lime for extra flavor to my soup. My husband likes fresh lime juice, shredded cheese (4 points) and sour cream (2 points) in his soup!
As always, feel free to add or delete ingrediants according to your taste!
Enjoy!
