Tex-Mex Soup the ThermoCouple Way

September 2, 2022

When it comes to quick, wholesome meals, my Thermomix soup recipes are always my go-to. They’re comforting, nourishing, and perfect for busy days—and best of all, they can be made Weight Watchers–friendly too!

I wanted to experiment with new soup ideas, but most of the recipes I found weren’t exactly weight-loss friendly—beautiful on the surface, but not when you looked at the ingredients or points.

So, I got creative in the Thermomix and worked a little recipe magic of my own. The result? A delicious, satisfying bowl that fits perfectly into my Weight Watchers plan—just 3 points for me! 🙌

This was originally a Cookidoo recipe, however, I wanted a healthier more Weight Watchers (WW) Friendly version so I changed this recipe a lot. Well the ingredient amounts and the type of protein.
