I don’t know how many times you’ve had to hear me tell you how much I love soup….. but I had to get one more recipe of it in while there is snow outside. It’s so cozy and comforting- I love it! I just tried this recipe for the first time today and it’s so yummy! It’s my favorite mexican soup so far…. we’ll see what the fam thinks tonight.Here are the ingredients: Vegetable Oil, onion, chicken broth, garlic, cornmeal, red Enchilada sauce, black beans, frozen corn (I used canned), Velveeta Cheese (I used 1/2 jar Cheese Whiz and 1 cup of Tillamook Cheddar and Pepper Jack), salt, chili powder, ground red pepper, cumin.


Brown chicken, then shred and set aside.


Chop up your onion and garlic.


Saute onion and garlic until onions are translucent.


Pour in chicken broth. Then add the cornmeal. Stir.

Add enchilada sauce, beans, corn, cheese, and spices. Bring to a boil.


Add chicken.


Reduce heat to low and simmer 30-40 minutes, or until thickened. If it’s too thick add a little water or chicken broth to get the right consistency. Garnish with tortilla chips, sour cream, cheese and scallions. Enjoy!
