Chicken Enchilada Soup Chilis Style Recipe 415

Steps:

• Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken breasts to pot and brown for 4-5 minutes per side. Set chicken aside.
• Add onions and garlic to pot and sauté over medium heat for about 2 minutes, or until onions begin to become translucent.
• Add chicken broth & refried beans. Whisk until blended.
• Add enchilada sauce, cheese and spices to pot and bring mixture to a boil.
• Shred the chicken into small, bite-size pieces and add it to the pot.
• Reduce heat and simmer soup for 30-40 minutes or until thick.
• Serve soup in cups or bowls. Can garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled corn tortilla chips, Olives or pico de gallo.

Steps:

• In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, and saute' the onions until they are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook another minute or two, then scrape the onions and garlic into your crock pot. Add all the other ingredients, except the chicken and corn. Cook over high heat for two hours or low for four. Whisk until smooth (you may wish to use a stick blender). Add the chicken pieces and corn and heat through, maybe another 30 minutes to one hour. Check seasonings, and garnish as you like before serving. **Chili's chicken enchilada soup doesn't have corn in it, but it's delicious in this, amplifying the corny flavor of the tortillas. You could even go crazy and also add a can or two of black beans. That would be yummy, too.
