Enchilada Soup

 


Sautéed 5 cloves of garlic with the onion              

Added ½ of roasted chicken – shredded or 1½ lb of ground beef

1 tbsp Cumin

1-2tbsp Red Chili Powder (from new mexican red chilies)

1 4oz can diced black olives (only used 1/3 to ½ of can)

1 19oz jar enchilada sauce (red) (I made my own because I did not have any on hand. It made it soo much richer and wonderful. Recipe follows)

3 8oz cans of tomato sauce

1 15 oz can of Mexican tomatoes (Rotella)

1 2oz can of diced green chilies (mild)

2 cups diced onion (1 large)

I chopped 1 green and 1 yellow pepper

2 cans of red kidney beans

1 can of black beans

(I use Pinto too sometimes)

½ lb. grated cheddar cheese                                      

¼ lb. grated Jack cheese

½ dozen corn tortillas torn into pieces                    

I - 16 oz. bag frozen corn (I add)

1 cup sour cream (I add to each bowl after I dish it up)

 

You’ll make everything in one large stock pot. Sauté onions in oil. Add vegetarian meat (if using) until browned. Add olives, tomato sauce and enchilada sauce. Simmer covered. Add beans, chilies, corn, tomatoes and sour cream. Heat low to medium, stirring frequently. Do not boil. Slowly add in cheese, stir until melted.

Add torn, and/or crumbled tortillas, let dissolve.

Add fresh tortilla wedges prior to serving.

I sometimes serve inside an enchilada shell

I serve with corn bread.
