Chicken Enchilada Soup Recipe

Bold, hearty, and packed with comforting flavors, this Chicken Enchilada Soup is the perfect one-pot meal for busy weeknights or cozy weekends. Tender shredded chicken, beans, and diced tomatoes come together in a rich, zesty enchilada sauce, creating a warm and satisfying dish.

Finished with melted cheddar cheese, fresh cilantro, and crunchy tortilla chips, this soup is a flavor explosion in every bite.

The rich, hearty tastes and textures of this Chicken Enchilada soup result from the seasonings, spices and melding of different ingredients while it slowly simmers to perfection. However, when there’s no time for lots of prep and cooking, there are shortcuts that don’t sacrifice taste.

For example, when time is short, a can of READ Southwestern Bean Salad gives you a head start. The robust mixture of black beans, corn, hominy and kidney beans in a slightly spicy, chili-lime accented tomato sauce is just right in recipes that boast Tex-Mex flavors like this Chicken Enchilada Soup. Just add a few pantry staples and some sauteed chicken for a warming pot of soup in about half an hour.
