This soup is so easy to throw together and is really tasty. It gets quite a bit of heat from the enchilada sauce so be careful about adding extra spice. I serve with cheese quesadillas for a filling meal. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your liking. If you like it spicy, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of spices.
  • If you don't have any enchilada sauce, you can make your own by combining tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  • Be sure to shred the chicken before adding it to the soup. This will help it to cook evenly.
  • If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, mix equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, stir it into the soup and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the soup has thickened.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or cheese.
