chicken green chili enchilada soup










This soup is super easy to make and super tasty!  Perfect for a busy day.  Throw everything into the crock pot and DONE! 

chicken green chili enchilada soup (adapted from Taste and Tell)
 3 frozen chicken breasts, boneless & skinless
1/2 cup chopped onion (or use 3 tablespoon minced dried onion)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup brown jasmine rice (or use your favorite rice)
3 cups water
1 (29 ounce) can Las Palmas enchilada sauce
2 cans (4 ounces each) green chiles
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
optional for serving: shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, cilantro

Spray the inside of your crock pot with nonstick cooking spray or use a crock pot liner.  Place 3 chicken breasts into the crock pot.  Add the onion, garlic, water, enchilada sauce, green chiles, chili powder, cumin and rice.  Cook on high for 6 hours.  Add the cream cheese and swirl around to make it nice and smooth.  Take the chicken out to shred it then put it back into the soup.  Enjoy!

Note: Next time I make the soup I think I'll add a can of petite diced tomatoes.
