Description

A comforting, creamy, and mildly spicy soup that blends shredded chicken, green enchilada sauce, cheese, and chiles for an easy, flavorful meal.


Ingredients

  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 28‑oz can green enchilada sauce
  • 10.5‑oz can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 27‑oz can whole green chiles, drained
  • 3 lb rotisserie chicken, boned and shredded
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar‑Monterey Jack cheese blend


Instructions

  1. In a large pot, whisk together chicken broth, green enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until smooth.
  2. Add drained green chiles and cheese; use an immersion blender to reach desired consistency.
  3. Stir in shredded chicken.
  4. Heat over medium‑low for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted and soup is heated through.
  5. Serve hot with optional toppings like extra cheese, cilantro, avocado, tortilla strips, or sour cream.

Notes

  • Immersion blender helps thin and cream the soup—you can skip or pulse for texture.
  • Adjust consistency: add more broth if too thick.
  • Spice level varies—use mild/medium green chiles/enchilada sauce to control heat.
  • Leftovers keep 3–4 days refrigerated; freezes well up to 3 months.
