What is an enchilada soup?
If you never heard about an enchilada soup before you are in for a great finding! An enchilada soup it’s just like the name suggests, an enchilada in a soup form!

How to make this easy chicken enchilada soup
This recipe is super easy and quick! That’s why I love it so much. You need to saute some onion until translucent, that way we get rid of that strong onion bite some people don’t like. Then sprinkle some masa harina on top.
Masa harina is what makes this chicken enchilada soup so creamy and filling. If you don’t happen to have masa harina on hand you can chop a couple corn tortillas and throw them in. They will dissolve while the coup is simmering.
Then just basically add tomato sauce, chicken stock, shredded chicken and simmer for a bit All the flavors will intensify! Finish it with some cheese and mix until melted and incorporated.
Then just top your soup with some black beans, more shredded cheese, sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.
