Super Easy Chicken Enchilada Soup
Super Easy Chicken Enchilada Soup will soon be a family favorite recipe! It is perfect to dump into a slow cooker and let it cook. You’ll come home to a fully cooked meal that is complete and delicious!
Ingredients
Most of the ingredients come from a can and there are very few ingredients that need to be measured. It’s a recipe that requires very little preparation.
I used canned chicken, but you can certainly use shredded chicken.
The base of the soup is a large can of green enchilada sauce and chicken broth. They cook together and create a wonderfully flavorful base that had a mild spiciness to it.
The recipe calls for canned chicken, but you can certainly use shredded chicken. The black beans and the pinto beans get drained and rinsed with water then are added to the pot. I added the fire roasted corn and tomatoes which adds a little bit of smokiness. Then you add a packet of taco seasoning for the flavor and some dried minced onion and it’s ready to cook.
Cooking
This is the easy part. You set the slow cooker for 4 hours on high or 8+ hours on low and let it cook. Since everything his precook, it heats up quickly, and since it’s a soup it can slow cook for a long time to work the flavors together.
Serving
We like to top it with sour cream, some guacamole, and shredded cheddar cheese, but that is optional. My husband like to add tortilla chips on top. He like that extra crunch.
In case you’re wondering what to serve it with, how about some nachos? Or a Strawberry Fluff Salad? Maybe ending this wonderful meal with a slice of Fresh Strawberry Pie? Everyone one love a soup and pie meal.
