mexican chicken vegetable soup

This recipe is my variation of a recipe I found for Chili's Chicken Enchilada Soup. I particularly like using masa harina, an ingredient with which I had never cooked. When the chicken broth and masa harina thicken, one can add or subtract ingredients at will. I love my version, but you might like more heat or fewer vegetables and more meat. Make it for your taste!!

How To Make mexican chicken vegetable soup

  • 1
    In a large soup pan, add olive oil and diced onions, diced peppers and spices. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • 2
    In a separate bowl, combine chicken broth and masa harina. Whisk until combined.
  • 3
    Pour the Masa Harina mixture into the soup pot with vegetables and cook, stirring, until mixture has thickened--about 2-3 minutes
  • 4
    Add salsa and stewed tomatoes and bring to a low boil.
  • 5
    Add cheeses and stir until cheese is melted. Turn heat to low.

    Note: To get the cooked chicken, I cooked 1 large bone-in, skinned salted chicken breast with 1/2 cup salsa and 1/2 cup chicken broth in a covered skillet on low-med heat for 45 minutes. After it cooled, I took off the meat and diced it.
