Fall is in the air here in Northern Utah.  For me that means it’s time to be making soup.  I love rich hearty creamy soups, but since I do Weight Watchers it’s not the best choice for me.  My go to soup for fall is a super simple taco soup.  In fact it’s just 2 points plus on Weight Watchers. It’s hot, delicious, and extremely filling. Everyone that I have shared this taco soup recipe with absolutely loves it!  One of the best parts of this taco soup is that it is also extremely easy to make and it’s very easy on the budget.  I make this probably every 10 days or so and it feeds my family of 4, plus gives me 4-5 more servings for lunches.

Ready to take a look and get started? Take a look at the ingredients below!

• 2 Cans of Cut Corn
• 1 Cans of Black Beans
• 1 Can of Kidney Beans
• 1 Can of Great Northern Beans
• 1 Can of Fat Free Re-fried Beans
• 2 Cans of Diced Tomatoes
• 2 Cans of Broth of your choice
• 1 Can of Diced Chiles
• 1 Onion
• 1 Garlic Clove
• 1 Packet of Taco Seasoning

Simple right? Good! These are the only ingredients that will need unless you like to top  your soup with crackers, sour cream, cheese, tortilla chips, or whatever you like. Of course adding things to the top will increase the points plus per serving.  I use fat free cheese and sour cream.

Not only are the ingredients easy, it’s super easy to make!  Just dice the onion and sautee it up in your stock pot.  Add the crushed garlic.  Then just start opening cans and dumping everything in.  I always end with the re-fried beans.  They really thicken it all up.

Bring it all to a boil and then reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for about 30 minutes.

Just another tip – buy reduced sodium beans & broth.  You don’t need all the sodium!

Get to the grocery store or wherever it is that you shop so you can get your hands on everything needed to make this affordable taco soup.  Anyways, we hope you like this recipe!

If you a doing the Simply Filing program on Weight watchers you won’t need to count any points for this taco soup.  Enjoy!
