🥘 Ingredients

• corn
• black beans
• diced tomatoes
• milk
• chicken
• enchilada sauce
• cream of mushroom, chicken, or celery soup
• salt
• cumin
• garlic salt
• pepper
• tortilla chips
• shredded cheddar cheese

🌾 Adaptations for dietary restrictions

Use cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup and either omit the chicken altogether or substitute a can of rinsed cannellini (or beans of your preference) for a vegetarian version.

Many "cream of" soups contain gluten, so to make this soup gluten-free, either choose a gluten-free brand or make your own. (It's easy, but it'll add a few minutes to your cooking time.) This recipe for gluten-free cream of chicken soup looks like a good option, and you could easily substitute vegetable broth in it if you wanted a vegetarian version.

📋 Instructions

Combine corn, beans, tomatoes, chicken, enchilada sauce, cream soup, milk, and spices in a large saucepan and mix well. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soup reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer for about 10 minutes. Serve over tortillas chips and top with shredded cheese.

💭 Tips

Chicken Enchilada Soup can easily be adapted to the crockpot; just place all of the ingredients except the garnishes in the crockpot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
