Weight Watchers Instant Pot Detox Soup
It is winter here in the Midwest and if you are from here then you know it has been a pretty harsh one thus far. I am counting down the days until we can move to Arizona LOL However, in the meantime, I will make soup and like it.
This is the best chicken noodle soup minus the noodles. It is only 1 Weight Watchers Freestyle point and has so many great flavors. I make this recipe once a month and freeze it in small containers so I can have an easy grab and go lunch option on our busy days.
