Looking for an easy Chicken Enchilada Soup recipe? Don't miss this one!
I love making my own homemadeChicken Enchilada Soup and this recipe was submitted by a couple at church.
We often have church fellowships which always involve everyone bringing their own potluck dish, and I love this because I get to try so many new recipes.
This recipe was so good , that I begged them to let me have the recipe to post here for all of you guys.
They just laughed and said of course. Little did they know their recipe would become famous lol.
Most of the ingredients were dump and go so make sure you have a good can opener on hand.!
I am always looking for a good deal on chicken and when it's on sale I stock up!
We actually ran into our local Sprouts for this recipe while they were having their BOGO Chicken sale and bought 6 pkgs for freezer meals! Keep an eye out for when we post Sprouts BOGO Chicken sale every year.
Onion Tips:
When I saw that this recipe called for diced onions , which honestly are not my favorite to chop up because I am a cryer. I remembered the two tips that my friend Kierston and my husband Daniel aka Consumer King taught me!
Hubby's Tip: Don't cut the onion from the root end. The root end has a tight root center. This keeps you from breaking the onions cell walls which releases fumes that react with water on the surface of your eyes to form sulphuric acid. This burns your eyes and creates tears.
Kiersten's Tip: Open up a bottle of Thieves oil and leave it on the counter while you are chopping up onions to help alleviate the tear!
This recipe is actually quite versatile, you can slow cook it on high for 4 hours or on the stove and we've included both versions of the recipe for you!
If you don't have a slow cooker you are really missing out!
My life can get quite hectic at times. Sometimes it's not easy to be able to plan out my meals ahead of time.
Sometimes it's easier if I take a Saturday and make freezer meals ahead of time.
I usually set my crockpot on high first around 1:00pm and and dinner is ready by 5pm. If I put it on low then I start it at 11am and dinner is still ready by 5pm.

For the coldest days of winter, a hearty bean soup just hits the spot. Last week Imade this Hurst’s 15 Bean Soup for Instant Pot, and it was a hit!
For these cold January days, soups are a favorite weeknight meal option for us. We can sometimes get stuck in a rut with the same old soups, so it helps to change it up and use a few ingredients we don’t normally see on the menu.
