WEIGHT WATCHERS SLOW COOKER TACO SOUP

Please See Other Recipes

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 that 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.
