    ⏲️ Time needed

    This soup is makes a great weeknight meal because it's ready in 15 minutes.

    🥘 Ingredients

    • corn
    • black beans
    • diced tomatoes
    • milk
    • chicken
    • enchilada sauce
    • cream of mushroom, chicken, or celery soup
    • salt
    • cumin
    • garlic salt
    • pepper
    • tortilla chips
    • shredded cheddar cheese

    🌾 Adaptations for dietary restrictions

    Use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup and either omit the chicken altogether or substitute a can of rinsed cannellini (or beans of your preference) for a vegetarian version.

    Many "cream of" soups contain gluten, so to make this soup gluten-free, either choose a gluten-free brand or make your own. (It's easy, but it'll add a few minutes to your cooking time.) This recipe for gluten-free cream of chicken soup looks like a good option, and you could easily substitute vegetable broth in it if you wanted a vegetarian version.

    📋 Instructions

    Combine corn, beans, tomatoes, chicken, enchilada sauce, cream soup, milk, and spices in a large saucepan and mix well. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soup reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve over tortillas chips and top with shredded cheese.

    💭 Tips

    Chicken Enchilada Soup can easily be adapted to the crockpot; just place all of the ingredients except the garnishes in the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

    🥗 Side dishes

    With a delicious combination of vegetables, protein, and chips, Chicken Enchilada Soup can be a meal in itself. Avocado slices would be delicious served with it or as a garnish. If you want to stretch the soup to more servings, you could add a salad and/or additional chips with guacamole as a side.
