Chicken Enchilada Soup and My Top 10 Soup Recipes

Last week we had the weather change drastically here in Utah overnight. One day it was 89 degrees the next day it was 60 degrees. It’s also been raining off and on. The change in weather put me in the mood for soup. I went to my file of soup recipes I needed to try and found a couple I was ready to try. This one is great because it’s made in your slow cooker. It is very similar to the recipe for Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup I have posted before. However, it’s amazing how just a few changes to a recipe can really give you a different flavor. This soup tastes just like a chicken enchilada. I also love the flavor that the little sprinkle of pepper jack cheese adds. You can also adjust the heat by what type of enchilada sauce you use. I stuck with mild. The original recipe came from …And a Cookie For Dessert but I did alter the recipe a little. I am also going to share with you today my top 10 soup recipes. These are soups that I have shared before. I’m sure that as I try other soups my list may change, but as of today here’s what it is. Then make sure to come back tomorrow. I’m gonna share the new bread recipe I served along side this soup in addition to sharing my favorite bread recipe to accompany all those soup recipes. You’ll be all prepared for soup weather!

My Top 10 Soup Recipes

10.Creamy White Bean – this soup uses some great spices along with chicken, sour cream and whipping cream.

9. Crock Pot Potato Chowder – a yummy creamy potato soup that can be make in your crock pot that gets it’s creaminess from cream cheese.

8. Crock Pot Tortilla Soup – this is the one that is similar to today’s post.

7. Chicken Enchilada Soup – the recipe I posted today.

6. Creamy Potato – This creamy soup is made with skim milk, but you’d never know it. Delicious and creamy!

5. Clam Chowder - a deliciously creamy chowder recipe that came from my mom.

4. Cheddar Ham Soup – so cheesy and a great use for leftover ham.

3. Taco Soup - can can do stove top or crock pot here. I love to make this one with leftover roast.

2. Sweet Chili - my version of my mom’s chili recipe. I make it every year for Halloween. I also love to make Navajo Tacos with the leftovers.

1. Creamy Chicken Noodle - this is my absolute favorite homemade soup. I think it is #1 for my entire family.

Chicken Enchilada Soup

1 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes (I used the kind with sweet onion in it)
1 10-ounce package frozen whole kernel corn
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped yellow, green, or red bell pepper (I used red, which is my favorite pepper)
1 10-ounce can enchilada sauce (I used mild)
1 10.75-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups milk (I used skim)
1 cup shredded Pepper jack cheese (4 ounces)
2 chicken breasts

In a 3 1/2 to 5 quart slow cooker, combine drained beans, tomatoes, corn, onion, and bell pepper. Place 2 chicken breasts on top of mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together enchilada sauce and soup. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Pour sauce mixture over ingredients in cooker.Cover; cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours. Remove chicken and cut or shred into bite sized pieces. Add chicken back into soup. Top with pepper jack cheese and serve. Can also be topped with avocado, sour cream, or crushed tortilla chips. Note: if the soup is too thick for you, just add a little more milk after it’s all cooked.

    Hello! My husband and I LOVED this! The only difference in mine was another chicken breast and the addition of a can of fire roasted chopped chilies. It was spicy and delicious- mmm!

  9. Yvonne Nov, 23, 2011 at 2:46 pm #

    Thank you for this recipe! It is amazing! I have made it twice now. It is so easy to make and really, truly delicious. I am eating some now topped with monterey jack, cilantro, and tortilla chips.

  10. Amanda Oct, 05, 2011 at 4:08 pm #

    Just made this soup! Smells great but tastes a little off.. There doesn’t seem to be much flavor. I followed the recipe to the T. Not sure what happened ]:

    • Texas Mom O4 Dec, 11, 2011 at 10:05 am #

      If you need more flavor… add chili powder and ground cumin (traditional enchilada spices)… if you want it hotter (spicier) use rotel for the tomatoes….

  11. Michelle at Faith, Trust, & Pixie Dust Aug, 20, 2011 at 11:58 am #

    Hi, I found you through Pinterest. I’m really excited to try your chicken tortilla soup! Thanks for sharing your great recipes.

    Warmly, Michelle

    • Amy Sep, 18, 2011 at 8:20 pm #

      Made this recipe using mostly fresh veggies from my garden (tomatoes, corn, green peppers & onion) and used a larger can of enchilda sauce than your recipe called for. Added some spice to the crockpot as well.. taco seasonings, cayenne pepper, and cocoa chili blend. It was fabulous!!! We topped it w/ tortilla chips and sour cream.. I will definatley make this again! One of my favorite “new” crockpot soup recipes!

  12. Shannon Aug, 10, 2011 at 6:52 pm #

    Do you add raw or cooked chicken in the beginning ? Im assuming raw?

    • Amy Sep, 18, 2011 at 8:39 pm #

      Made it today with 2 big frozen chicken boneless breasts from a freezer bag.. put them right in frozen.. and they came out fantastic!

  13. Monique Aug, 02, 2011 at 8:56 am #

    I found your site off of pinterest. I’ve made the chicken enchilada soup and my husband LOVES it. It’s on the must make again list. I’m going to try the pineapple meatballs later this week. I will be getting your cookbook. Thank you so much for posting these.

  14. McGee Jul, 16, 2011 at 12:27 pm #

    Can you use frozen chicken breasts for this, or do they need to be thawed out first?

  15. Katerine Mila Nov, 24, 2010 at 10:31 am #

    Hi there, long time lurker here with my first ever comment! My only daughter is getting married to her lovely mexican boyfriend soon, and I’m tasked with preparing the wedding arrangements! I thought enchiladas would be a nice snack, so trying to find some good enchilada recipes. What do you think? Any other ideas?? Anyway, thanks for your hard work as ever…

  16. Denise Jul, 12, 2010 at 11:21 am #

    My family LOVES your creamy chicken noodle soup! I can’t get the link to work anymore though. The redirect isn’t working. Can you help? Thanks!

    • Elizabeth Sep, 14, 2011 at 11:47 am #

      I would love the chicken noodle recipe too but can’t get the link to work. So close…yet so far.

  17. Erin Mar, 12, 2010 at 11:11 am #

    This soup is great. Even my picky husband liked it. I used green enchilada sauce but other than that followed it exactly. Thanks for another great recipe.

  18. Jason Jan, 20, 2010 at 11:49 am #

    This enchilada soup recipe is great! Followed the recipe exactly. Served with a dollop of sour cream, some chopped scallions, and crispy tortilla strips on top. Awesome! Will definitely make this one again. Thanks!

  19. jaelwoman Nov, 03, 2009 at 6:09 am #

    I've never posted on a blog before, but I absolutely HAD to for this recipe! This was SO freaking fantastic. I've made it 3 times in 2 weeks we love it so much! The first time I stumbled upon it I had no enchilada sauce, so I substituted taco seasoning mix…it was all I had. It was incredible! My family loves it and it is SOOO good the 2nd day.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

  20. megan Oct, 27, 2009 at 10:36 am #

    This was wonderful! Thanks so much for a great recipe. It's so creamy and has a great flavor. I might try medium enchilada sauce next time, but my husband loved it so much I'm afraid to mess with it too much :) Thanks for a great recipe!

  21. gaga Oct, 18, 2009 at 10:37 am #

    This sounds like an awesome soup! I would definitely love this.

  22. Shanna Oct, 13, 2009 at 11:24 am #

    I just made this last night. It was so yummy!! I already had some cooked chicken, so I just threw it all in a pot and let it simmer for a little while. I loved it better than taco soup.

  23. Frances Oct, 08, 2009 at 5:10 pm #

    Hey I am about 4 hours west of SLC in nevada and we just had snow too! Thanks for the recipe sounds yummy and warm!

    Laura,

    I'm so glad you did this post. I'm such a soup gal. I love it almost year round but Fall and Winter it's a staple. I have a similiar recipe for the chicken enchilada but I'm anxious to try the potato with the cream cheese.

  31. Jen Oct, 07, 2009 at 1:16 pm #

    This is super close to my Chicken Tortilla soup recipe! Hands down, my absolute favorite soup. I cut flour tortillas into strips and bake in the oven to serve on top.

  32. Valerie Oct, 07, 2009 at 11:29 am #
