On the Menu–Chicken Enchilada Soup

Cooler weather and rain just caused my mind to head toward soup on the menu for tonight. Are you a soup lover? I just returned from Haven, a blogging conference, a few weeks ago where I met a new friend from Mad Dash Mixes. I knew from the moment that I met her that it was the start of a great relationship. Our conversations have been frequent and I can’t wait to join her in a couple of weeks for a fun outing. Among her wares, she handed me a few soup mixes. THAT’S where the dinner menu took me today–Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup.

Perfect.

Perfect for the weather and beyond perfect to prepare for a soup loving husband.

I have said that I am truly not a mix girl, but the ingredients on their packaging was exactly what I needed to know for this WW girl. The contents and nutritional information were all there–easy for me to calculate. And, really? The spice blends in my cabinet are really close to the same “mix” worthy status.

Here are the ingredients of the mix. Loved the nutrition facts and the NO MSG. A great spice mix that gives wonderful flavor.

But, I almost giggled when I thought about the mix. As I looked at possible additions my thoughts went immediately to “Stone Soup”. Do you remember that story? The man began with a stone and continued to add ingredients from people until he made the most heavenly soup.

Can I tell you how FAR from that story this Chicken Enchilada Soup actually was?

What I discovered with Mad Dash Mixes was I was in a world of the most incredible flavors in a spice packet! Seriously! It was beyond the stone that needed other things to bail it out!

Those of you who followed along on my Kitchen Organizer story know that I am a spice blend girl all day long. When I looked at the ingredients list, I realized it was a great spice blend that I was comfortable having in my pantry.

Off I went to create a grocery list:

  • tomato sauce
  • milk
  • avocados
  • rotisserie chicken
  • black beans
  • corn
  • tortilla chips
  • Mexican blend shredded cheese

Now, you know me…that marinara sauce would be a perfect blend for this soup. But, after some thought, I added a pint of tomatoes and tomato juice that were in my canning pantry. And that corn from the freezer that I shared with you a few weeks ago would be an amazing addition.

With this cheesy chicken enchilada soup recipe, you can choose rotisserie or canned chicken. There is canned chicken in my pantry, but I truly wanted all of the flavor that a great rotisserie chicken would add to this soup.

The fastest and easiest and cheesiest chicken enchilada soup ever!

Can I tell you what I love about this soup recipe? There was really no preparation to this one! Other than removing chicken from the bone, opening cans and measuring milk—seriously! Nothing any easier when your busy life just needs a delicious and quick option.

If I am needing a quick meal for my family that has great ingredients and is so easy to prepare–I am reaching for this one!

You know me…making the chicken enchilada soup recipe my own…I added a pint of tomato juice and 1 pint of tomatoes instead of that sauce!

Notes

A wonderful soup that combines the flavors from Mad Dash mixes and wholesome ingredients with ease and provides delicious results!
TIP: Feel free to add or delete any of the ingredients with the mix to make it your own.
TIP: I used one whole rotisserie chicken–deboned and skinned and cut into bite sized pieces with kitchen shears. I did this ahead of time to make it a quick and easy 15 minute preparation time.
TIP: I measured the chicken broth in the container that held the chicken and saved the broth and added water to make the 1 C water. A great way to add flavor!
