Here’s a comforting, hearty, and low-point Weight Watchers Chicken Soup recipe that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep. It’s packed with lean protein, fresh veggies, and warming flavors—all while keeping your points in check.


🍲 Weight Watchers Chicken Soup (0–2 Points)

Ingredients:

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil (optional – can be omitted for 0 points)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 6 cups chicken broth (fat-free, low sodium)
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (skinless)
  • 1 ½ cups zucchini, chopped (optional)
  • 1–2 cups baby spinach or kale
  • Juice of ½ lemon (for brightness)

Instructions:

  1. Sauté aromatics:
    In a large pot, heat olive oil (or use a splash of broth for oil-free). Add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, until veggies begin to soften.
  2. Season and simmer:
    Stir in thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  3. Add chicken and greens:
    Stir in the shredded chicken, zucchini (if using), and spinach or kale. Simmer for another 5–10 minutes, until greens are wilted and everything is heated through.
  4. Finish with lemon juice, adjust seasoning, and serve hot.

Points Breakdown (approximate):

  • 0 points (most WW plans) if olive oil is omitted and you use skinless chicken breast and broth with 0-point ingredients.
  • Add a small portion of brown rice, quinoa, or whole grain pasta if you want a heartier soup (track accordingly).

🥄 Optional Add-ins:

  • Fresh herbs like parsley or dill
  • Red pepper flakes for heat
  • A dash of hot sauce or a splash of vinegar for brightness
