I've been craving Enchilada's lately so I decided to make Chicken Enchilada Soup, a healthier alternative to traditional Enchiladas.

Two of my all-time favorite things just happen to be Enchiladas and Soup. So after ordering Chili's Enchilada Soup one time I was hooked! Enchilada Soup is now one of my top 5 favorite soup recipes!

It's the perfect comfort food since it has all the things that make Enchiladas great, but with a healthier spin.

I used Breast Fillets and black beans for plenty of protein. 

Masa Harina is used to thicken the soup so it's naturally gluten free. It's easy to make in under 30 minutes, and since the cheese is added as a garnish it's easy to control quantity. 

All the ingredients for the soup are kitchen staples in my house making this an easy dinner on a cold day.

Masa Harina is used to thicken the soup so it's naturally gluten free. Plus it's easy to make in under 30 minutes, and since the cheese is added as a garnish it's easy to control quantity. 

Copycat Chilis Enchilada Soup recipe will quickly become an easy weeknight comfort food favorite.

In a large soup pot add 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and heat until hot. 

Stir in 1 whole Diced Onion, cook until starting to caramelize. 

Add 1 whole Diced Jalapeño with seeds removed, and 5 cloves Minced Garlic, stir until garlic is fragrant, and softened.

Stir in 2/3 cup Chili Powder, and cook for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Whisk in 1 cup Masa Harina (Corn Flour), until well combined.

Slowly whisk in: 

• 4 cups Chicken Stock
• 6 cups Water

 Until smooth.

Add: 

• 3 whole Diced Chicken Breast
• 28 ounces Fire Roasted Tomatoes
• 6 ounces Tomato Paste
• 1/4 cup Cumin
• 2 teaspoons Oregano
• 2 teaspoons Smoked Paprika

Stir in 15 ounces Rinsed Canned Black Beans, and 1 1/2 cups Frozen Corn. 

Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes.

Serve with Shredded Cheese, Chopped Cilantro, Fried Corn Strips, Green Onions, and Sliced Avocado. Hot Sauce can also be added to kick it up a notch or two, if preferred. 

Another time saving hack is to freeze any leftover Enchilada Soup in individual serving sizes for an easy lunch or dinner when needed.

An easy one pot dinner done in under 30 minutes makes this a family favorite perfect for a busy weeknight. Enchilada Soup will quickly become a new favorite comfort food.
