Chicken Enchilada Soup

This Chicken Enchilada Soup is packed full of flavor, and a delicious meal everybody will love!ย 




Everything you love about chicken enchiladas in one bowl! Loaded with chicken, green chilis,ย  beans, and lots of cheese! This soup is a big bowl of comfort food, topped with all your favorites.


I love using my cast iron dutch oven for soups or braising meats in the oven. But this chicken enchilada soup can also be made in the slow cooker if you choose.

If you have any leftovers it freezes perfectly, I like to use these 32oz Plastic Deli Containers to freeze my soups in, perfect 2-4 servings.

Masa Harina is a fine corn flour for homemade tortillas or tamales also helps thicken this soup and gives it a very authentic flavor. Usually located with the flour in your local grocery store.

  1. The Masa mixture is on the first line of the instructions and the cream cheese is added on line 3 of the instructions ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. I want to try this but what is the โ€œmasa mixtureโ€? Where does the cream cheese come into play?

  3. Masa harina thickens the soup and adds an authentic flavor to the dish. It's usually in the baking section by the other types of flours.

  4. This was absolutely amazing!! I 100% recommend this recipe! Its fast and easy, but tastes like you spent all day cooking it.
