Here’s an easy Zero-Point Stuffed Pepper Soup (WW-style) that’s filling, simple, and great for meal prep. It keeps things light by using lean ingredients and no added oil.
🥣 Zero-Point Stuffed Pepper Soup
🛒 Ingredients
- 500g lean ground turkey or chicken (0–99% fat if following WW zero points plan)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 bell peppers (any color), chopped
- 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
- 1 can (400g) crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low sodium)
- 1–2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
- Fresh parsley (optional garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the base
- In a large pot, add the ground turkey/chicken.
- Cook over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- If there’s excess fat, drain it (or use very lean meat to skip this step).
2. Add aromatics
- Add chopped onion and garlic directly into the pot.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
3. Add peppers
- Stir in chopped bell peppers.
- Cook for another 5 minutes so they start to soften.
4. Build the soup
- Add diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and broth.
- Stir everything together.
5. Season
- Add salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and chili flakes.
- Mix well.
6. Simmer
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
- Cover and simmer for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Serve
- Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Garnish with parsley if you like.
💡 Tips & Variations
- Add cauliflower rice for extra volume (still low-point in most plans).
- Want it heartier? Add brown rice or quinoa (not zero-point anymore, but more filling).
- For a smoky flavor, add a splash of smoked paprika.
- Make a big batch—it tastes even better the next day.
🥄 Why it’s “zero-point”
It uses:
- Lean protein
- Non-starchy vegetables
- No oil or sugar
So it stays very low in calories and typically aligns with WW zero-point foods.
If you want, I can also make a vegetarian version or a slow cooker version that you can just dump and forget.
