This Chicken Enchilada Soup is packed full of flavor, and a delicious meal everybody will love!
Everything you love about chicken enchiladas in one bowl! Loaded with chicken, green chilis, 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.

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.
Super excited to make this but not finding the special flour. Is that a critical ingredient?
