How to Eat Soup and Lose Weight on Weight Watchers
As someone at WW Lifetime and maintaining a 100 pound weight loss, I’m a big fan of using soups (especially zero point ones) to help you lose weight and keep it off.
I make a batch of soup on the weekends (this WW turkey chili or WW vegetarian chili are probably the ones I make most often) and eat it for my lunches during the week.
Soup and chili are quick, easy, and filling, and for zero points, I still have plenty of points left for the rest of the day.
Research has shown that eating soup can help lose weight because it’s filling and hydrating. Soup can also help you feel more full for a longer period of time which makes it a winner in my book.
These soups also freeze well, making them perfect for weight loss meal prep.
This hearty soup has plenty of protein, which makes it great for satisfaction and is especially important for those taking a GLP-1 medication because it helps to preserve muscle.
You’ll love this quick dump-and-go recipe for a busy weeknight. You can even put all the ingredients in your crock pot in the morning and come home to this wonderful meal. What could be easier?

Easy & Healthy Chicken Taco Soup Recipe – Step by Step with Photos
Here’s how to make this delicious, filling Taco Soup either in the Instant Pot, stovetop, or slow cooker.
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
Gather your ingredients. If desired, add a packet of taco seasoning mix. This adds great extra flavor but quite a bit of additional sodium. The spice from the Rotel tomatoes might be enough for you in this recipe.
Step 2: Combine & Cook
Combine all ingredients in an Instant Pot or a pot on the stove top. Chicken may still be frozen. Drain beans and corn. Do not drain tomatoes.
Step 3: Shred Chicken and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken and shred or chop. Add back to the soup.
Dig in and enjoy this delicious soup.
Serve with plain, non-fat Greek yogurt (a great zero-point sour cream replacement), avocado, baked tortilla chips or Good Thins corn ones, lime, or low-fat shredded cheddar cheese.

Great recipe!! I’m confused on the serving size though. It says it makes 8 servings and a serving is around 2 cups, but I only got around 8 cups of soups. What did I do wrong? Thank you and thanks for your tasty recipes!!
Hi Debbie, Thanks for this comment. You are correct. I am showing that this would make about 13 cups, so I’m going to estimate 1 1/2 cups per serving. I corrected the recipe. Thanks for pointing this out!
