Description

A comforting, creamy soup bursting with chicken, corn, and enchilada flavors, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, combine chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, and enchilada sauce. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Use medium heat to ensure the soup warms evenly.
  3. Add shredded chicken, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir to distribute the spices. If the broth seems too thick, add a splash of water or extra broth.
  5. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and cheese until melted.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half or a mix of milk and cornstarch. Rotisserie chicken can save time.
