1 lb. chicken breast (cooked, shredded)
1 cup onion (petite diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tbsps. olive oil (light tasting)
4 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
1 14.oz can fired roasted tomatoes (diced)
1 10.oz can enchilada sauce
1 tbsp. enchilada seasoning (I used McCormick's.)
¾ tsp. cumin powder
1 tsp. chili seasoning
¾ tsp. salt ( or more to taste)
2 tbsps. tomato paste
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1 cup red bell pepper (petite diced)
2 cups frozen corn
2 cups canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 4 oz. can green chilies
2 tbsps. lime juice
½ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Avocado
Sour cream
Lime
Tortilla chips

Steps:

  • If you don't have cooked chicken, cook some chicken breast. See blog post for details.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add in the onion, garlic and sauté until translucent in color.
  • Add in the enchilada sauce, fire roasted tomatoes, spices, and salt. Sauté for about 1 minute then add in the broth.
  • Cover and bring to boil for 20 minutes. Remove the pot from heat. Using an emergent hand blender, blend the soup carefully to the consistency you like. You can make it super smooth or textured. Place the soup back over medium heat.
  • Add in the shredded chicken, black beans, corn and green chilies into the pot. Mix and cover to cook for another 10 minutes. Add in the lime juice and stir.
  • OPTIONAL: You can also add some heavy cream at this point if you decide to make the soup extra creamy. You will cook for an extra 3-5 minutes after adding the heavy cream.
  • Serve in a bowl topped with some tortilla chips, cilantro, sour cream, and avocadoes.

Easy Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup image

This is a delicious, warm, creamy soup that calls for little prep time and little cook time. Great for when you need a warm meal fast. I usually use John Soules pre-cooked chicken fajita meat, but the site would not recognize it, so I had to change it to something similar. You can also use 1 can of Rotel instead of 2 if you don't like things too spicy.
