Light yet creamy, it combines pumpkin puree, chai spices, and a touch of sweetness for a satisfying bowl that tastes indulgent without all the calories.

This healthy Weight Watchers friendly pumpkin soup was inspired by a recipe in Slow Cooker Revolution Volume 2 (affiliate link) and lightened up with smart swaps like Truvia (affiliate link) instead of sugar and fat-free half and half instead of cream.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Onion – for a savory flavor base.
• Garlic – adds depth and aroma.
• Olive oil – just a touch for sautéing.
• Broth – vegetable or chicken broth both work.
• Pumpkin puree – canned or homemade, just be sure it’s plain pumpkin, not pie filling.
• Sweetener – Truvia (affiliate link), monk fruit, or brown sugar, depending on your preference.
• Chai tea bag – infuses warming spice flavor; or substitute with ground cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and cardamom.
• Fat-free half and half – keeps it creamy with fewer calories. Evaporated skim milk or unsweetened almond milk also work.
• Salt and pepper – to taste.
