I made a really good one that I used a tub of the Jalapeño Cheddar Philadelphia Cream dip- onion, poblano pepper, chicken broth, chicken, rotel, corn, dry ranch and taco seasoning

I use rabideaux smoked sausage in mine or chorizo.... brown that, then chicken (thighs or tenderloins diced up). Then I cheat with guidry’s mix and a diced up poblano pepper. Tons of garlic. Dice up some squash and zucchini. Then a can of rotel. Then unsalted chicken stock. Unsalted black or pinto beans and some frozen corn. Spice accordingly with salt, pepper, Chile powder, and cumin. Simmer for about an 1-2 hours or you can throw it in the instant pot. Can also add a little heavy cream if you want. Top with tortilla chips and cheese

Note: I usually use leftover or rotisserie chicken for this soup, but if you want to cook the chicken from scratch, you’ll need two bone-in chicken breasts. Preheat the oven to 425°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Place the chicken breasts on an aluminum foil–lined baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Let cool, then pull the meat off the bone and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost the soup in the refrigerator for 12 hours and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. This soup will also keep nicely in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. (If refrigerated or frozen, the soup will thicken up quite a bit, so add a bit of water or chicken broth while reheating to thin it out as necessary.)

FOR SOUP:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium yellow onions, roughly chopped (about 2-1/2 cups)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced into quarters
1 green bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 quarts (8 cups) low-sodium chicken broth (best quality such as Swanson)
6 small (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
OPTIONAL ADDITIONS
2 cooked skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces (see note)
Sour cream
Crushed tortilla chips
Chopped fresh cilantro
1-2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced

In a large pot, heat the oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and green pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and just starting to brown, about 15 minutes. (Turn the heat to medium-low if the mixture is browning too quickly.)

Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, cut tortillas, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat, then use a handheld immersion blender to purée the soup until completely smooth. (Alternatively, let the soup cool slightly and use a blender to purée in batches. Be sure to remove the center knob on the blender top and cover with a dish towel to avoid splatters.) Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Stir in the chicken, if using, then ladle the soup into bowls and serve with optional additions.

Ingredients

2 TBS Olive Oil

2 lbs Chicken breasts, grilled or pan sautéed crispy, seasoned with a little chili powder

1 diced medium yellow or sweet onion

1 red bell pepper, diced (or 2 or 3 jalapeños if you want it spicy)

2 cloves garlic, diced

2 - 32 oz containers of low sodium chicken broth

1 cup masa harina (Mexican corn flour)

2 - 10 oz cans red enchilada sauce, medium hot

Shredded fiesta blend Mexican cheese (usually one 8 oz bag is enough)

2 – 14 oz cans black beans, rinsed clean in a colander

1 tsp of cumin (or to taste…)

½ tsp of chili powder

Salt and Pepper to taste



Season chicken breasts with chili powder and sauté or grill chicken until just crispy, cool and chop into soup sized pieces. Set aside.

Sauté onion, garlic and peppers in bottom of stock pot in the oil until soft, around 5 – 7 minutes on medium heat. Add 1 container of the chicken broth, bring back to a simmer. Make sure the onions and peppers are soft.

Combine the Masa with 2 cups of water in medium bowl and whisk until blended. Slowly whisk in the masa mixture to the chicken broth, onions and garlic.

Add the remaining container of broth, enchilada sauce, and seasoning; bring to a simmer over medium low heat, around 15 - 20 minutes, stirring often as it will stick once the masa has been mixed in.

Gradually stir in the cheese a little at a time.

Add the chicken and black beans and simmer on low for 15 - 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes to keep it from sticking. You can adjust the consistency by adding either more chicken broth if it’s too thick or more of the masa / water mixture to thicken it if thin.

Serve with crumbled tortilla chips.
