One of our favorite soups to sit down to in the colder months is this Low Fat Chicken Tortilla Soup. Not only is it full of flavor and soothingly warm on those cold days, its low enough in calories and Weight Watchers Points that the serving size is considerably large without sacrificing precious points or calories. Not to mention how simple it is to throw together to simmer on the stove.
Although traditional chicken tortilla soups will be served with fried tortilla’s and cheese, using just a few baked tortilla chips for crunch is plenty to make this “pop”. If you choose to add the traditional sprinkle of cheese make sure to account for it within your points calculations for the day.
