Weight Watchers Taco Soup

Weight Watchers Taco Soup

1 pound lean ground beef (at least 93% lean)

1 cup chopped onion (1 medium-size onion)

1 can (14 to 15 ounces) Mexican-style diced tomatoes, undrained

1 can (10 ounces) tomatoes with chiles, undrained

2 cans (14 to 15 ounces each) beans (kidney, pinto, black or chili), rinsed and drained

1 can (11 to 15 ounces) corn, undrained

2 cups water

1 package (1.25 ounces) reduced sodium taco seasoning

1 package (1 ounce) ranch dressing mix

 

Ideal slow cooker size: 4-Quart

Spray a skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it up with a wooden spoon, stirring for about 1 minute. Stir in the onion and continue to cook, stirring often, until the ground beef is brown all over and the onion is soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain the excess fat.

Transfer the browned beef and onions to the slow cooker (or a soup pot). Add the tomatoes, beans, corn, water, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours (or simmer over low heat on the stove for 30 minutes to 1 hour.)

Serve with optional garnishes as desired.
