Chicken Enchilada Soup

What happens when you take an enchilada and turn it into a soup? You get a tasty, hearty soup that will satisfy the hungriest bunch. This Chicken Enchilada Soup is a must add to your family dinner table.

The only ingredient left out in this soup is the tortilla. You can of course serve it on the side and dip into the soup, Mmmm. 

The soup is full of great enchilada flavors.

For the soup I cooked up some chicken and then shredded it. If you want easier you can buy a rotisserie chicken and shred that. I also added homemade black beans and enchilada sauce ( I had these on hand already in my freezer). Canned of course is more convienient. There is something about homemade though…the flavor is a bit more intense.  I also added onion, diced green chilies, fire roasted tomatoes, bone broth, and the spices…cumin, chili powder, oregano, and garlic.

If there is anything else you put inside your enchilada feel free to throw it in the pot! Corn would be a yummy addition. 

All the toppings of an enchilada went on the top of the soup. Some ideas to top yours with is:

• cilantro
• green onion
• diced avocado
• cheese
• olives
• sour cream
• tomatoes
• tortilla chips
