CREAMY WHITE BEAN ENCHILADA SOUP



Creamy White Bean Enchilada Soup image

I love enchiladas but do not love all of the fuss that goes into cooking the filling, spooning, rolling, and then cooking again. I came up with this soup that has the flavor without all the fuss. No need for refried beans either because the beans are built into the soup. Feel free to add cooked chicken in the final step for a more hearty meal. Garnish with crushed tortilla chips, jalapeno slices, cheese, cilantro, or your favorite enchilada toppings.
