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.

Always use the recipe builder. The nutrition info calculator doesn’t count the zero point right.
PATRICIA S. Pumphrey says
When I actually build the recipe in WW it is 2. If I use the nutrition info to calculate it is 7. Like the recipe builder better lol. I did use turkey.
PATRICIA S. Pumphrey says
I show 7 purple points. Love it anyway.
Jenna says
Can depend on a lot of factors like the type of protein you use or points per brand name will vary as well. The points listed in the notes section includes the lean ground beef for protein.

I’m still learning about the new WW. I am on the Blue Plan. When I build this recipe on the app it tells me that it is 7 points per cup. Does that sound right? Most of the ingredients are zero point foods. I know you don’t represent WW – just curious what you guys think? Thanks so much!
