Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup
When it comes to Mexican food we love it. We actually travelled around Mexico on a road trip a couple of years ago and got a real taste for it so love trying new dishes. This Chicken Enchilada Soup came about as we knew were we going to be out in the snow and wanted something delicious to come home to so the slow cooker was perfect. So here you go our easy slow cooker Mexican chicken soup.
Green Enchilada Soup
Nothing is better than the spiciness of Mexican food. The combination of the different spices can be as fiery hot or as mild as you want. The green enchilada sauce that we use is bottled, it’s made with tomatillos plus green chillis and a mix of onions and spices and has a delicious tomato and lime flavour to it.
Combine that with the chicken, cream, and cheese and add in some tortillas, sour cream and guacamole and you have the perfect Mexican Enchilada soup to enjoy.
