This Slow Cooker Taco Soup would be perfect to serve on Game Day. Just make a big pot of it in your slow cooker and have a topping bar with sour cream, cheese, avocado, chips, or whatever else your favorite toppings for tacos might be.
Sunday mornings have become my time during the week, where I prep all my food for the week. This week, I made Egg and Sausage muffins for breakfast and this taco soup to take for lunch. I’ll stick the egg muffins in the fridge and place two in little baggies, so all I have to do at work is heat them up in the microwave. Same with the soup.
I have to watch my sodium intake because I have high blood pressure. For this recipe, I used no salt canned corn. You can usually find where the canned corn is. Green Giant has a can with no salt added called niblet corn. In the organic section of the grocery store, they have no salt added canned black beans. They might be a little bit more spendy than the regular canned beans, but just think of how much salt you are saving. Also, Hunt’s has no salt added tomato sauce. The taco seasoning and ranch seasoning mix, Mrs. Dash has packets of these with no salt added. The only ingredients that had salt were canned tomatoes and chilis, and low sodium chicken broth. Did you think I did pretty good with making this soup low sodium? That’s one thing that I don’t like about all those canned soup recipes for slow cookers. They have SO MUCH SALT in them.

I do not do points plus anymore, it is smart points now.
When I enter the nutritional info you have posted into the WW App it comes up saying it’s 7 Smart Points, that’s a significant difference from what you show. What am I missing here?
The NI will not be the correct points because there are a lot of zero point ingredients listed in the recipe below. It is best to use the recipe builder for this.

I just found you and I am so excited you are the first low/no salt recipe maker/sharer/blogger I have found.
I have severe cardiac issues and have ankles as thick as elephants and difficulty breathing when I get to much salt. This is/was yummy and I am excited to learn that Mrs Dash has an extensive product line, I had given up on them years ago. I will be checking that out shortly. I hope they see this and help sponsor/support you❣️
Thanks,
Linda
Aww thanks Linda! I have to watch my salt intake as well and I love Mrs. Dash! Hope you can find them. I usually will find them right next to the other seasoning packets in the store.
Hadn’t thought about adding ranch to this soup – going to try it. Just a little worried about the sodium.

Notice how I say in the recipe to use a low sodium ranch and taco seasoning packet. 🙂
My whole family LOVED it! They had no idea it was weight watchers. I have an 11 year old and 13 year old. They never eat anything I cook, but they LOVED it. It has so much flavor. Thank you!!!
