Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup
I am on a major soup kick lately. Something about a hot bowl of soup just makes me feel so cozy! One of my absolute favorites is enchilada soup! This recipe reminds me a lot of Chili's version I loved so much in college, but even better (because I know what's in it!).
My favorite part about it is that 95% of the work is done by the crock pot. The night before I saute up some diced onion and garlic and just about everything else goes in the slow-cooker as is: Chicken breast, chicken stock, roasted tomatoes, and spices. Once it's done, I mix in some cheese and top off with some tortilla chips.
It really is so easy and is hearty enough to satisfy any appetite for lunch or dinner. Plus it tastes just like a chicken enchilada, but is so much less work!
