Chicken Enchilada Soup

I love turning classic meals into soups, it’s an easy (maybe even lazy) way to make a dish that only dirties one pot! This soup is inspired by my chicken enchiladas only turned into soup! Make this in the slow cooker, crock pot, pressure cooker or stove.

This recipe has been a fan favorite for YEARS! I basically took my traditional chicken enchiladas recipe modified it and added some black beans, corn and chicken broth. After a few hours of letting it slow cook all day, this delicious bowl of soup emerged which I topped with cheese, scallions, cilantro and a dallop of sour cream. Avocado or pickled red onions would also be awesome! This is very tasty, filling and had just the right amount of heat. Add more or less chipotle to your taste. I’ve also recreated this in the Instant Pot, as I’ve been slowly doing this with older recipes. You can see all my Instant Pot Recipes here. I’ve labeled this freezer friendly, a great dish if you like to make freezer meals. To reheat you can let it thaw overnight and reheat it on the stove. You can see more Soup Recipes here!
