Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (10 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, undrained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado, tortilla strips

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded chicken, chicken broth, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, green chiles, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and garlic powder in a large pot or Dutch oven.
  2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
  3. Stir in the cubed cream cheese until it melts completely into the soup, creating a creamy texture.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until the soup is fully heated through, but do not let it boil after adding the cream.
  5. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Ladle the creamy chicken enchilada soup into bowls and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For quicker prep, use rotisserie chicken for your shredded chicken.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, let it simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the cream.
  • You can substitute Monterey Jack cheese for some of the cream cheese for extra cheesiness.
