Weight Watchers Friendly Carmelized Onion Soup

Weight Watchers Friendly Carmelized Onion Soup

We were a little iffy about making caramelized onion soup in the beginning. I like onions but we never thought of using them as a base for a soup. We found a recipe in a book for onion soup and one of the kiddos wanted to try it. We had her in the kitchen preparing it. She did an awesome job and the soup was amazing.

This onion soup is so easy, even a 12-year-old can do it. If you are having second thoughts about using your Instant Pot hopefully this motivates you to get it out and start making memories. Serve this soup with my 1 point garlic cheddar biscuits!

Onion soup

Onions are nutrient-dense meaning they are low in calories and high in vitamins and minerals.
Onions are an excellent source of vitamin C. Which helps to support your immune system and combat free radicals, It also helps with collagen production and iron absorption.

Onions are rich in B vitamins which can help increase your metabolism and nerve functions.

Onions contain high amounts of potassium which many people do not consume enough of.

Frozen Onion Soup

Freezer Meals

Are you meal prepping for the week? Caramelized onion soup makes a great meal to freeze in 1 cup servings. It is the perfect low point meal that you can grab and go. We use Great Value double zipper freezer bags to store our soup in. These bags seal tight and help prevent freezer burn, not to mention you can pick them up at Walmart for $7.53 for 75 bags.

The Instant Pot has been a big help in my wife and me losing weight. Meal planning has been an essential factor in our success with Weight Watchers. We are short on time, so we joined Instant Pot for Weight Loss and it jump started our weight loss in a BIG WAY! If you're intimidated by your electric pressure cooker, this is a way to get over it… fast. πŸ™‚

Note: This recipe is 1 point. We accidentally marked it as zero points on our freezer bags but have fixed them!
