Sometimes I like to switch up our usual soup recipes, and opt for a soup with more of a Mexican flavor like today’s soup recipe and our Mexican Soup and Taco Soup as well!
We LOve a Good Soup!
We love a good soup recipe!! This copycat version of Chili’s chicken enchilada soup is AMAZING!! I finally decided to try and make a copycat version, and it turned out SO full of flavor and tasted just like the real thing! Why we love it:
Easy. With a quick prep, this copycat recipe comes together quite easily. Flavor. The masa harina (corn tortilla mix) gives it that enchilada flavor that is addicting and delicious. Filling. With chicken and a thick creamy base, it’s a hearty soup!
Ingredients
chicken breast – or chicken thighs minced garlic chicken broth – or vegetable broth. Or use chicken bouillon cubes to mix up chicken broth. masa harina corn tortilla mix – Masa harina is dried corn dough. As an alternative with the same flavor, put dried corn tortillas in a food processor until they turn into fine corn flour. Or use cornmeal which will give you the same texture, but not the same flavor. water mild red enchilada sauce – or spicy if you like the heat. Use store-bought or Homemade Enchilada Sauce. Velveeta cheese – Substitute all or half of the Velveeta with cheddar cheese. salt (and pepper) onion powder chili powder cumin garnish – tomatoes & corn tortilla strips
A Quick + Simple Soup!
Storage Tips
STORE leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave. Freeze ahead of time. Make a couple of batches of this Chili’s copycat chicken enchilada soup recipe to freeze for later. Follow the recipe except for adding the cheese. Allow the soup to cool, and store it in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat it on the stovetop over medium-low heat using a large cooking pot or Dutch oven or reheat it in a crockpot. Once heated, add the cheese mix to combine, and enjoy!
