Chicken Enchilada Soup
Description
Chicken Enchilada Soup starts with sautéed onions and garlic cooked briefly in olive oil, then thickened by stirring in masa harina. Adding chicken broth creates a smooth base into which shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, black beans, diced tomatoes, green chiles, and corn kernels are simmered together. The masa gives the soup a slight body, making it richer than a typical broth. After simmering, shredded cheddar cheese is whisked in to melt, adding creaminess and depth. Fresh cilantro brightens the dish at the end. This blend of ingredients produces a satisfying and comforting soup with a balance of savory, mild heat, and fresh herbaceous notes. Serve immediately with tortilla strips and optional toppings such as sour cream and avocado to complement the textures and flavors. The soup is straightforward to prepare and suits casual dinners or gatherings.
