Enchilada Soup

Not the most appetizing looking soups but I guarantee it's good!



We travel a LOT! When I'm driving to various destinations, I really don't have much of an appetite (sad I know) so I tend to stick to soup and salad on the road. I love to experiment with soups I've discovered on the road and adapt them to my family's tastes. This one is a winner with everyone!

Enchilada Soup

Adapted from Chili's Copycat Recipe

1 T vegetable oil
2 c diced or shredded cooked chicken
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed
4 c chicken broth

1 10 oz can enchilada sauce

2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 t chili powder
1/2 t cumin
