Last week, we had the weather change drastically here in Utah overnight. One day it was 89 degrees the next day it was 60 degrees. It’s also been raining off and on. The change in weather put me in the mood for soup. I went to my file of soup recipes I needed to try and found a couple I was ready to try out. This chicken enchilada soup is great because it’s made in your slow cooker.
It is very similar to the recipe for Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup I have posted before. However, it’s amazing how just a few changes to a recipe can really give you a different flavor. This soup tastes just like a chicken enchilada. I also love the flavor that the little sprinkle of pepper jack cheese adds. Also, you can adjust the heat by what type of enchilada sauce you use. I stuck with mild.
The original recipe came from …And a Cookie For Dessert but I did alter the recipe a little. I am also going to share with you today my top 10 soup recipes. These are soups that I have shared before. I’m sure that as I try other soups my list may change, but as of today here’s what it is.
Then, make sure to come back tomorrow. I’m gonna share the new bread recipe I served along side this soup in addition to sharing my favorite bread recipe to accompany all those soup recipes. You’ll be all prepared for soup weather!
