Flavorful Chicken Enchilada Soup
"A mild but flavorful soup I created after my local store stopped carrying the enjoyable Cugino's "Ridiculously Delicious! Chicken Enchilada Soup!" You can simmer the soup for less time, but the flavors need time to meld together."

Very good. We are snowed in so was using up things I had in the freezer. I used Recipe #4957 for the chicken and canned corn. I topped my serving with tortilla chips but not the cheese. I was surprised how good this was. It has the perfect amount of heat for me. I froze some for future lunches. I will be making this again! -
This recipe is OUTSTANDING! The only thing I changed was I eliminated the oregano, added diced green chilis, doubled the cumin and chili powder and used a shredded rotissorie chicken! It tastes better than a restuarant soup!!!!!

What a wonderful flavor! I made double the veggies and liquids, but instead of doubling the chicken, I did 1 lb chicken and 1 lb ground beef. Even the kids liked it. Next time I'll add some chiles.

I tweaked this recipe just a tad. I doubled the chili powder and the cumin as some others had suggested. I used one can of Rotel tomatoes and one can of tomato paste instead of the 2 cans of tomato sauce. I added a can of black beans that I drained and rinsed. Also, instead of chicken bouillon granules, I used chicken bouillon cubes. After the soup simmered for a while, I added in a package of cream cheese and 4 oz. of Velveeta. It was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! Next time I make it, I'll add two cans of Rotel tomatoes.....one regular and one hot! LOVE this recipe! -
Really good! Tastes just like enchiladas! I added rice as suggested, used 1 chicken breast and 2 chicken thighs, 1 can green chiles, and 1 package cream cheese (just to make it creamier!). Loved it!

I'm a stay-at-home-mom of two boys who seldom finds herself at home. We're often out and about (swimming, zoo, museum, friends, family, etc.) I try to cook healthy without going "overboard". My husband is a more picky eater than my boys, so we don't have a lot of variety. When I can, I like to find time to quilt and edit the thousands of digital photos I take.
