Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup is packed with Tex-Mex flavors, simple to make and ready in under half an hour.
This soup fits best in a 5 or 6-quart dutch oven. If you want to double the recipe, be sure to have a large stockpot ready. Chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts. You can also use pre-cooked shredded or diced chicken. If you're using pre-cooked chicken, skip the browning steps and simply add the chicken into the pot after the soup has simmered for 10 minutes. Use other types of cheese if you like. Monteray Jack or Mexican blend will work well. To Adjust the Heat: Reduce or omit the chili powder. To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To Freeze: This soup freezes well. Keep in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
