This is a tasty recipe that is good for you.
I started making this when I was on Weight Watchers.
It is low in points yet filling. It’s even lower in points when you make it vegetarian style, without the burger. I personally, like a bit of beef so that is how I’ve made it for you here.
Am I crazy when I say it felt good to cook a little again?
It’s just so much better than ordering out.
Unless you’re incredibly busy, as I’ve been (and honestly still am), but sometimes you just have to make time for things like a good home cooked meal and after ordering out so much, I need some seriously low-calorie meals like this.
1 lb (or less) of lean ground beef (optional)
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
1 Tbsp minced garlic
3 cans diced tomatoes
1 Can Great Northern white beans undrained
1 can corn drained
1 package McCormick Taco seasoning
2 cups chicken broth
First if you are going to cook with beef, I recommend buying a pound or less of the leanest burger.
Brown your hamburger, drain the grease and add chopped onion & cook for a few minutes on medium heat.
Add all other ingredients.
Make this recipe for your heart, it’ll thank you.
I know, I’m not right.
Don’t drain the beans, put the whole can in the pot.
Add the chicken broth. I state 2 cups in the recipe, use your judgement for your liking.
Stir ingredients until combined well.
Cook on medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occassionally.
A filling, light, warm lunch. Yum.
If I recall correctly, 1 Cup of this soup (vegetarian style) is only 3 points, with the burger it’s approximately 5 points per cup.
A slightly higher calorie option is adding a little light sour cream to your individual serving, top with a little shredded cheddar.
I hope you enjoy!
Sometimes in the midst of my all-comfort-food-all-the-time diet regimen, the system could use a big purge in favor of something healthy. my MIL loves this soup!

For anyone that likes a spicier flavor soup(like me) I use 2 cans Rotel Tomatoes and 1 can diced tomatoes. Yummy!

This looks fantastic, and so easy too–a plus on weeknights for sure! I’ll have to give it a spin, or maybe convince my husband to give it a spin for me. =)

So is the soup too spicey for kids? We do Saturday Night Soup and I have gone through my best homemade from scratch soups.

It’s actually not spicy at all. Especially if you use a mild packet of seasoning and don’t use Rotel. For a spicier soup, substitue rotel with one of the cans of tomatos.
