Chicken Enchilada Soup Recipe!

I was finally able to detail with pictures my delicious Chicken Enchilada Soup recipe! I hope it will be helpful, for those who would like to try it. I did however, reduced the amount of cayenne pepper as I cannot deal well with spicy food, but feel free to add it to your taste.

Ingredients:

- 6 tbs of olive oil
- 2 lbs of cooked cubed chicken
- 2 cups of diced onions
- 2 cups of Massa Harina
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1/2 lb of diced Veelveta Cheese
- 1/4 cup of chicken base (or 2 cubes of chicken bullion)
- 3-1/2 quarts of water ( 1 quart = 4 cups)
- 2 tsp of ground cumin
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Chili powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 diced avocados

Directions:

Brown the cubed chicken with 3 tbs of olive oil and once it's cooked set it aside.

Mix all the dry seasonings:

2 tsp of Ground Cumin

2 tsp of Chili Powder

2 tsp of  Garlic Powder

1/4 tsp of Cayenne Pepper

Stir all the dry seasonings and set aside.

In a large and tall saucepan, add 3 tbs of olive oil, diced onions, chicken base or the chicken bullion and the mixture of spices (dry seasonings).

While you sauté the onions, mix 2 cups of Massa Harina and 1 quart of water (4 cups) and dissolve it well. 

Once the onions are soft and clear, add the Massa Harina dissolved into the saucepan.

Stir it well and bring it to a boil, then let it cook for another 3 minutes, but make sure you stir it constantly. Then add 2-1/2 quarts of water.

Add the 2-1/2 quarts of water

Stir it all together

Now, add the diced tomatoes:

Next, the avocado, then the cooked cubed chicken and the cubed Velveeta cheese:

Forgot to take a picture of when I was adding the avocado and the chicken, but you get the idea, right?

Once the cheese is melted your Chicken Enchilada Soup is ready!!!!

I like to garnish it with some green onions and serve with Tortilla Chips! I got this recipe from my Mother-in-law and she is a great and devoted cook, I do however love to cut some corners, so I use the Tortilla Chips from the store, but my Mom-in-law cut the corn tortillas and fry them... It's really good but I can do without all the oil. ;o)

Hope you like it and for the friends that already know how it taste, now you can make it!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
