Chicken Enchilada Soup

Two bottles of enchilada sauce were found lurking behind the salsa during the last stockpile inventory. I don’t know who would have put salsa in front of them…but, it certainly couldn't have been me! Anyways, I needed to use them up soon and really didn't want enchiladas.

I had a grand idea that I would make soup…did you see that one coming?!? I have been on a real soup kick lately. Have you noticed? This may be the last soup I post in a while since spring is on the way (fingers crossed), so I wanted to leave you with a good one. Ok, I really shouldn't promise things like that. I like soup and may or may not continue to make it all year!

When I was trying to make up a soup I came across this recipe on Real Mom Kitchen. I knew I had to try it. I have a great Chicken Chili recipe, that we LOVE, but it takes a lot of time. This recipe resembled it but was cheaper and easier. Hello- Crock Pot, go ahead and dust it off because you are going to want to make this.

I changed the original recipe to suit what I had on hand. Don’t ever be afraid to do that!


2 cups black beans (I used ones that I had cooked up and then froze, but you could use 1 can of rinsed and drained black beans)
2 cans ROTEL
1 cup frozen corn
½ cup chopped onion
1 can enchilada sauce (10oz.)
1 can cream of chicken soup (10 ¾ oz.)
1 ½ cups milk
2 chicken breasts, uncooked
cheese for topping

In a 3 ½ to 5 quart crock pot, combine beans, ROTEL, corn, and onion. Place the chicken breasts on top of mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together enchilada sauce and soup. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Pour sauce mixture over ingredients in cooker. Cover; cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Remove chicken and shred. Add chicken back to soup. Top with cheese.
Serves 6

It could have been me who put the enchilada sauce behind the salsa...but I'm pretty sure it was Samson. :-)

hahaha... I have to laugh at Daniel's comment.

Since I have some Rotel tomatoes to use and this doesn't have Velveeta, I think the Oldfield clan will be trying this... :)

This soup recipe looks amazing! I'll have to try it soon! I have some black beans in my freezer too! But not much of the rest of the ingredients! haha! I'll have to add them to the shopping list!

Thanks!
