Instant Pot Spicy Taco Soup

When the weather gets cold or I’m just feeling a bit down I like soup…that doesn’t mean we always have to be eating chicken noodle soup though, right?

Let’s spice things up with this delicious and healthy taco soup. It’s a little spicy and packed with a whole bunch of great ingredients that come together to make the perfect lunch or dinner recipe. 

Is this a healthy taco soup recipe? 

It sure is! The great thing about this taco soup recipe is that it is packed with vegetables, beans for fiber, and of course some lean protein. You can find the Weight Watchers breakdown below as well!

This is a great recipe to meal prep, you can make one batch and have lunches for the whole week. Taco soup turkey-based is leaner while still be totally delicious! 

Can I make this easy taco soup family-friendly?

Not everyone likes spicy and I get that. You can make this recipe as spicy (or mild) as you’d like. You can use regular tomato juice and leave out the peppers if you’d like to dial it back a notch. Sub in green or red peppers if you’d like to keep the peppers but lose the heat. 

Taco Soup Ingredients: 

You can get the full list of taco soup ingredients in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post! It’s so much easier to have everything on one screen so make sure you just click through to print even if you don’t need to print out the recipe card! 

To make this soup you’ll need:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 small diced onion
• 1 pound of lean ground turkey (93/7)
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 cup red salsa
• 1/2 Cup diced green chilies
• 4 Cups tomatoes, diced
• 1 cup of spicy tomato juice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 Cups kidney beans (15.5 oz can)
• 2 Cups black beans (15.5 oz can)
• 4 Cups Corn, canned or frozen
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro

I make a lot of Weight Watchers ground turkey recipes. This helps me keep my points low and my budget on track. Ground turkey is more budget friendly than beef where we live so it’s a nice bonus for eating healthier meals! 

Do you have taco soup Weight Watchers info?

I sure do! I calculate with the online Weight Watchers recipe creator which I’d recommend to anyone who is serious about using the Weight Watchers program. Their online resources are helpful, affordable, and they make it really easy to know exactly what you are eating in terms of points…not to mention then you’ll always be up to date on the information and points changes. 

Make sure you recalculate for yourself if you stray from this recipe. Any changes could change the overall values in the recipe and alter your end result in terms of points.

WW Courtesy Point Calculation

• Be sure to calculate the points value of the foods and recipes you eat in the app.
• Always add ingredients and serving sizes and don’t rely on the nutrition facts in the recipe.
• Accuracy will come from the information you input on the app.

I don’t claim to be perfect but I do my best to provide you accurate information for your Weight Watchers journey. Each serving (recipe makes 8) is 3 Weight Watchers Points.

Do you have taco soup Crock Pot instructions?

You could make this taco soup in slow cookers by cooking the ground turkey and then placing all the ingredients into the crockpot for a few hours on low. I find that soups with beans do much better when you can give them a few hours on low versus lower hours on high.

I would want to make sure I cooked the ground turkey ahead of time for cooking in the Crockpot, other than that everything will be good to go once it’s warmed through. 

Can I alter this recipe to be lower in points?

If the points are too high for you here are some ways to reduce those points: 

• Use ground 99% fat free turkey breasts which would lower your points on the turkey. 
• Skip the olive oil, you won’t miss it! 
• If you are making this less spicy you won’t need the tomato juice which will drop a few points as well!
