I found the original recipe in “Mom Knows Best” by Gooseberry Patch. I changed it up just a little bit… but it is very close to the original!

My favorite part about this soup is that it can simmer in your slow cooker all day long without any attention from you. You can also make this soup if you don’t have all day to cook it! Use leftover chicken from a Fall-Off-The-Bone Roast Chicken, or pick up a cooked rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Then all you need to do is heat everything up!

There is plenty of creamy, cheesy flavor in this soup. But you can never have too much cheese, so I topped it off with a little extra shredded Cheese. Add a dollop of sour cream, a few sliced green onions, or some chopped fresh cilantro for an extra treat! And, of course, an enchilada soup just wouldn’t be complete without some tortilla chips. Have them on the side, or just drop them right in the soup like crackers!

Enjoy!
