Would you believe that I have not tasted Chicken Enchilada Soup until very recently? It was quite a discovery for me and to make up for lost time, I immediately decided I wanted to replicate it in my own kitchen. This soup hits all the right notes – creamy, spicy, and flavorful with lots of textures. It has meat and vegetables all in one bowl, further enhanced by the garnishes. Definitely a must try!

Chunky Chicken Enchilada Soup

The version that I first tasted was a little creamier and smoother. This recipe inspired by the one found on Serious Eats has a sharper and more tangy taste. It is chunkier in texture with whole black beans and corn kernels. This soup also has a richer color making it look very appetizing.

For simplicity and ease of preparation, I use canned red enchilada sauce which comes in three levels of heat – mild, medium, and hot. I chose the medium which worked out nicely for our family. Please leave out the lime juice if you prefer the taste to be a little less bright and tangy.

    This is addictive! I was amazed by how quickly this soup comes together which such a depth of flavor! used Costco cooked & shredded rotisserie chicken & added a bit of chili powder & cumin since I was slightly short in red enchilada sauce. I will definitely make this again!
