Report
Thick and cheesy Chili's chicken enchilada soup tastes just the original! With mostly shelf-stable ingredients it's our favorite go-to soup.

Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
- 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 (14.5-ounce) cans chicken broth
- 1 cup masa harina, corn tortilla mix, (found near flour/corn muffin mix)
- 3 cups water, divided
- 1 cup mild red enchilada sauce
- 16 ounces Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- chopped tomatoes, for garnish
- corn tortilla strips, for garnish
Instructions
- Add garlic to a large pot and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken broth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk masa harina and 2 cups water until well blended. Add masa mixture to the pot.
- Add remaining water, enchilada sauce, cubed Velveeta cheese, salt, onion, powder, chili powder and cumin. Bring to a boil.
- Add cubed chicken, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. **Add more broth, if needed, for the desired consistency.
- Garnish with chopped tomatoes and tortilla strips.
Notes
- Masa Harina. To get the right flavor you need to use masa harina. Make a similar substitute by putting stale corn tortillas in a food processor and pulsing until you reach a flour-like texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for 3-6 months. Reheat on the stovetop on low or in the microwave.
- Freezer meal. Follow the recipe except for adding the cheese. Allow the soup to cool, and store it in an airtight freezer-safe container for up to 6 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat it on the stovetop over medium-low heat using a large cooking pot or Dutch oven or reheat it in a crockpot. Once heated, add the cheese mix to combine.
