I just throw stuff together. I will try this on a weekend when I have plenty of time to devote to putting it all together.

I can't wait to try it! Here's a favorite of ours and many other families around our neck of the woods.<BR/><BR/>Chili's Chicken Enchilada Soup - from Celia Lubisich<BR/><BR/>1/4 cup veg. oil<BR/>2 Tbs. chicken base<BR/>1 1/2 cups diced onion<BR/>1 tsp. ground cumin<BR/>1 tsp. chili powder<BR/>1 tsp. garlic powder<BR/>1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper<BR/><BR/>1 cup Masa Harina<BR/>8 cups water (divided)<BR/>1 cup crushed canned tomates<BR/>1/4 pd. processed American cheese, cut into small cubes<BR/>1 1/2 pds. cooked, cubed chicken<BR/><BR/>In a large pot place the oil, chicken base, onion, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Saute until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.<BR/><BR/>*In a bowl combine the masa harina and 4 cups water. Stir until all the lumps are dissolved. Add to the onion mixture and bring to a boil. Once the mixture starts to bubble, continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This will eliminate any raw taste from the masa. <BR/><BR/>Add the remaining 4 cups water along with the tomatoes. Return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cheese and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, till the cheese is melted. <BR/>Add the chicken and cook until heated through. Serve topped with your choice of tortilla chips, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese.<BR/><BR/>*I like to boil my chicken and then roughly chop it (with my pampered chef food chopper), so it kind of falls apart and isn't so 'cubed-looking'. Then I use the water that I boiled the chicken in for the 4 cups water to mix with the masa, and then again also for the remaining 4 cups of water.<BR/>You can find the Masa in the ethnic hispanic food section of the grocery store (it's in a bag, like flour).<BR/><BR/>Enjoy!Ginger@chirgieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13136357927834621203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-81939802439840774192009-02-02T19:24:00.000-06:002009-02-02T19:24:00.000-06:00Easy, easy, easy and a hit EVERY time.<BR/><BR/>Chicken Tortilla Soup<BR/><BR/>2 lbs. Shredded chicken (cooked)**<BR/>1 onion (optional)<BR/>2 cans diced tomatoes<BR/>1 can ranch style beans or Texas Beans<BR/>1 can ranch style beans with jalapenos (jalapenos optional)<BR/>2 cans water or chicken broth (I use water)<BR/>1 can hominy or corn<BR/>1 package of taco seasoning<BR/>1 package of hidden valley ranch<BR/>1 can of rotel<BR/><BR/>Heat in Crock Pot or on the stove top until heated through.<BR/>We add carrots and celery for the last 30 minutes so they are crunchy.<BR/><BR/>Serve with green onions, sour cream, cheese and tortillas.<BR/><BR/>** Sometimes we just use the whole roasted chicken from the grocery store. Other times I just boil some chicken breast and then shred it.<BR/><BR/>Come see me and I'll fix it for you or Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas - we had those tonight!<BR/><BR/>SherriSherri@NoiseOverloadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12242857221835441280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782442.post-43720673269012422142009-02-02T18:50:00.000-06:002009-02-02T18:50:00.000-06:00We had soup last in the crock pot last night too! :) Ours was cheesy nacho chicken soup.
