Fall Soup- Chicken Enchilada Recipe

Who else loves fall weather? What about making tons of soups during fall and winter?! 

In the past I have not been a fan of soups, but the last couple years since I have become the full-time cook in the house I have realized that soups can be easy, fast and most importantly, delicious. 

 I never though about making Chicken Enchilada Soup before. I’m a huge chili fan, but my friend Jen said she had a recipe that she’s been wanting to try for this fall and winter. 

We found that this recipe is super simple! It’s mostly dumping cans into a crock-pot, and cutting up a little bit of chicken and veggies. The best part is this would be a fun and easy recipe to make when you have friends coming over to watch a sporting event, or just socializing!

Ingredients

• 3 cups chicken broth
• 2 1/2 chicken breasts, skinless and boneless
• 1 1/2 cup enchilada sauce
• 1 small onion diced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 15 ounce can black beans
• 1 15.25 ounce can whole kernel corn
• 1 7 ounce can diced green chiles
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Add all of the ingredients to the crockpot, except for the shredded cheese.

2. Cook over low heat for 8 hours.

3. Add in the cheese (and in our case tortilla chips) to taste!

4. Enjoy!

Notes

I decided to cut up the chicken a little bit before throwing it into the crockpot because I felt that it would take on the flavors floating around in the crock pot better. 

Jen and I only ended up cutting each breast into about 6 pieces each and throwing them in. We shredded the chicken up a little more after it had been cooked.

I am a super messy cook, which is one of the reasons I dislike cooking. I hate cleaning up the huge mess I make. The best part about the meal prepping I do is that I only make the mess once a week!

I decided to only use a quarter of the onion. I am not a huge fan of onion, and neither is Jen, so we made it to how we like it! I can tell you Anthony was very thankful for that. (He hates all veggies no matter what haha!!)

So is everyone ready for a picture of the final product?! I know that waiting those 8 hours to see the end result was extremely hard for me! 

We added the tortilla chips and sour cream for fun! I can tell you that I absolutely love sour cream on things like this!

So what is your favorite fall soup or recipe that you just can’t wait to get started cooking now that the weather has cooled off?!

XOXO,
