Simple Basic Chicken Enchilada Soup

I make this soup as an alternative to regular chicken soup. The kids love it because they can add in whatever toppings they want or have it plain. I don't make It spicy because the kids don't like spicy very much, but you can change it up however you like. It's a good base recipe . I choose to cook my whole chickens from frozen because it's just easier. You can use fresh chicken or you can make it super

Easy and buy a rotisserie chicken and some broth and make it too, it's very versatile. We like to double it and share with our neighbours or freeze it. i hope

You enjoy it as much as we do. It's a great recipe on a chilly day to warm up the insides, and it's super easy and yummy.
