Chicken Enchilada Soup


I don't like to brag, but..... this soup was good.  Really good.  Good like it should have been served in a restaurant.  It's ridiculous how easy it was.  I made up the recipe after looking at a couple of similar ones.

Chicken Enchilada Soup
Recipe by Kathee


2 chicken breasts, grilled and shredded (I seasoned them with salt, pepper, and garlic)
1 (29 oz.) can of Macayo's red enchilada sauce
4 (15 oz.) cans of chicken broth
1 (15 oz.) can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup of Masa Harina
Tortilla chips and additional shredded cheese for garnish

Pour the enchilada sauce and chicken broth into a stockpot on medium heat.  Add the black beans.  After the soup is heated through, add the cheddar cheese and let it melt.  Add the masa harina and stir until it's completely incorporated into the soup, this will thicken it.  After the soup has thickened add the chicken.  Serve with tortilla chips and cheese for garnish.  Easy!!
