I am serving this tonight with Pepperjack Cheese & Chicken Quesadillas. The soup is wonderful. My son keeps sneaking in the kitchen and tasting it. I hope there is enough left to serve! I followed the recipe, with the one exception of adding a can of Rotel tomatoes & chiles. Also, I cup corn tortillas very thinly and deep fried them for the garnish & will also be offering sour cream, the recommended Pico de Gallo, and diced green onions. Thanks for a keeper--we'll definitely be making again.

    If this is anything close to what Chili's serves I can't believe it's a "favorite". It was unbelievably bland with no flavor at all. The only thing that helped it was the Pico de Gallo.. Unfortunately I have about 2 more quarts of this to figure out what to do with.

    This is fantastic, however, I garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled corn tortilla chips and chopped green onions. I do not serve the Pico de Gallo. I half the recipe, and do not use chicken. I keep the masa hirna in the freezer, and put 1/2 cups of encilada sauce in baggies and freeze them! Recipe halfs nicely. I guess I have made it a cheese enchilada soup.

    We've made this several times, so it's about time we write a review! This soup is amazing! We make just as directed, except we sometimes use the precooked oscar meyer grilled or oven baked chicken strips you buy in the deli section (2 packages - cut up a little more) to save time. We have also used both regular enchilada sauce and green chile enchilada sauce - the flavor varies slightly with each, but both are wonderful. Enjoy - this is a great soup!
