What is a good reciepe to use to make chicken enchildada soup?

Answer 1

I MAKE THE BEST EVER! YOU CAN ASK ANYBODY!!!!

First! Take a medium onion, and chop it, along with at least 3 cloves (large) of garlic, and 2 (4 oz) cans of chopped green chilies, undrained. Saute them in 2 Tbsp. of oil while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients... After those saute nicely, pour in 1 can beef broth (14 oz), 1 can chicken broth (10 1/4 oz), and 1 can of cream of chicken soup (10 3/4 oz). Next add 2 (6 3/4 oz) cans of chunk-style chicken or cooked white meat chicken, cut into chunks... 1 1/2 cups water , 1 Tbsp steak sauce, 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp. ea. ground cumin and chili powder, 1/8 tsp freshly ground pepper, bring to a boil...

Cover, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour... Add small loaf of Velveeta Mexican, cut in 1/4 inch slices and laid across top of soup, 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, I lay out bowls of Tostitos white corn tortilla chips, 2-3 kinds of shredded cheese, cilantro, and paprika for a garnish!!!


IT'S SO DELICIOUS, I'M BESIDE MYSELF TELLING YOU ABOUT IT NOW!

Good luck, and bon apetit!

I forgot to mention, that you crush the chips into the soup a couple at a time so that they don't get soggy!!!! (The downfall of many of the recipes that have the tortillas cooked into them...)

Here's my favorite:


The Soup Nazi's Mexican Chicken Chili

1 pound chicken breast fillets (4 fillets)
1 tablespoon olive oil
10 cups water
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1 potato, peeled & chopped
1 small onion, diced
1 cup frozen yellow corn
1/2 carrot, sliced
1 celery stalk, diced
1 cup canned diced tomatoes
1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, plus liquid
1/4 cup diced canned pimento
1 jalapeno, diced
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
dash cayenne pepper
dash basil
dash oregano

On the side
Sour cream
Pinch chopped Italian parsley
Tortilla Chips

1. Sauté the chicken breasts in the olive oil in a large pot
over medium/high heat. Cook the chicken on both side until
done -- about 7-10 minutes per side. Cool the chicken until
it can be handled. Do not rinse the pot.
2. Shred the chicken by hand into bite-sizes pieces and place
the pieces back into the pot.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and turn heat to
high. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for
4-5 hours. Stir mixture often so that many of the chicken pieces
shred into much smaller bits. Chili should reduce substantially
to thicken and darken (less orange, more brown) when done.
4. Combine some chopped Italian parsley with sour cream and serve with tortilla chips on the side for topping the chili, if desired.
Makes 4-6 servings.

Tortilla Soup Recipe courtesy Chef Russell Thornton, The Blue Corn Cafe & Brewery
Show: Sara's Secrets
Episode: You Asked For It!





There are many ways to make Tortilla Soup. Ours is a chicken-based version, but you could easily make it seafood or vegetarian. The main characteristics of this soup are a medium-bodied broth filled with chunky vegetables, lime and chile, and an overriding richness of corn masa.


1/2 cup each 1/2-inch diced vegetables: yellow onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and tomato
1/2 cup roasted green chile, cut into a small dice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
4 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground comino (cumin)
2 cups Enchilada Chicken, recipe follows
6 each white corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch wide strips
6 each blue corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch wide strips
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Chopped cilantro leaves, as needed
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Salt, as needed
1 cup crushed corn tortilla chips

Begin with a large pot. Saute the vegetables and chile briefly in about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat for 3 to 4 minutes. When the vegetables are limp, add the broth and add the garlic and cumin and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, add chicken, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile (or beforehand), fry the corn tortilla strips in 350 degree F oil for 2 minutes until crispy. Drain well on paper towels. At the Blue Corn Cafe, we always have tons of chips around so we used crushed ones for garnish on the bottom of the soup bowl...the strips are added at the top. We, of course, use white and blue corn tortillas. If for some reason the blue variety are not available where you live, I suggest you immediately draft a letter to your Congressman! Yes, you can use all white or yellow tortillas.

To finish the soup, you've got to make some slurry. Yep...this will add just a little body to the soup. With the cornstarch in a cup-sized container, mix as little cold water as possible to form a thin paste. This stuff feels and looks like...well, slurry. Bring the soup back up to a boil; stir with 1 hand and pour the slurry in slowly with the other. Continue to cook on high heat for a minute, then reduce to low. The soup will look cloudy at first but will clear up and thicken slightly. Remove from heat.

Add cilantro and lime juice. Fill 8 to 12 cups or bowls about 1/4 full of crushed tortilla chips. Ladle soup on top. Place a handful of strips on top of each and serve. This soup (without the tortillas) keeps well for 3 to 4 days refrigerated. Tortillas will also keep well for a few days if sealed well and stored at room temperature. In moist climates they may require re-crisping in a 350 degree F oven for a few minutes.


Enchilada Chicken:
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken (breast, leg, or thigh)
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup medium-dice green bell peppers
1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro leaves
2 teaspoons oregano leaves
3 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
4 cups (1 quart) water
This "machaca" style cooked meat is very versatile: use in tacos, enchiladas, soup, nachos, burritos, etc. Basically a process of braising, the meat and all ingredients are put together in a large pot and brought slowly to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. If you desire, you can bake all of this in a covered dish in a 350 degree F. oven for about 3 hours for the same results. The meat should be tender to the point where it begins to shred...some of it may require quick chopping. You may want to reserve the liquid for use in soups, etc. Use the cooked meat in your dish right away or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Yield: 4 to 8 servings
