Notes
This recipe was updated in September 2023 to reduce the amount of ingredients, making it a simpler recipe.
To make the original enchilada recipe, add 1 small onion, 10 ounces of frozen corn, and 1 10-oz can of enchilada sauce.
Make it milder or spicier: If you want a more mild soup reduce the spices or use a mild enchilada sauce. To make it spicy, add in some cayenne.
Meatless: Leave out the meat and add chickpeas and sweet potato along with vegetable broth to make a meatless vegan and vegetarian version.
Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. To freeze, allow soup to cool in the fridge and then store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.
Slow Cooker Model: I tested this recipe in a 6-quart slow cooker.
Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat until heated through. You can also microwave it.
Freezer Directions: Allow soup to cool in the refrigerator then transfer to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.
Topping Ideas: My favorite toppings for this soup are tortilla chips, cheese, and avocado or guacamole. You can also add Fritos, jalapeños, onions, scallions, cilantro, or sour cream.
