Enchilada Soup Recipe
Commence by heating a large pot over medium-high heat and then sauté the onions until they’re translucent. As they near completion, introduce the pungent flavor of garlic to the dish. Stir the mixture thoroughly and allow it to simmer for approximately one minute.
Adding the chicken, chicken broth, tomatoes, enchilada sauce, green chile, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning to the pot. Bring to a boil.
Adjust the heat to a gentle simmer and allow the mixture to cook undisturbed for exactly 5 minutes. Gently remove the mixture from the heat source and gradually incorporate the cream, whisking or stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Savor the flavors in the bowl, then judiciously balance with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper, refining the seasoning to your liking. When the temperature in the pot reaches its optimal point, and the aromas meld together harmoniously, the soup is prepared for consumption.
Crock-Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup
Combine all ingredients, excluding the cream, in a slow cooker and cook on high for three hours or low for five to six hours. While whisking or stirring continuously, gradually incorporate the cream.
Savor the flavor of the soup, then thoughtfully balance its nuances with a pinch of salt, a few grinds of pepper, and any other seasoning adjustments that strike your palate as harmonious. When the broth reaches a rich, savory warmth and the flavors have melded together in perfect harmony, the soup is finally ready to be savored and enjoyed.
