I love this time of year when the leaves start to change, and the weather turns a little cooler from the summer heat. As much as I love barbecue season, I also love having a yummy bowl of homemade soup to warm me up.
I made this Chicken Enchilada soup for the family, and they gobbled it up in no time at all. It’s like having a chicken enchilada but the only difference is that it’s a soup.
Sometimes during the week I don’t have a lot of time to make dinner, but since I am such an early bird I can make this in the morning and have it ready to heat up and serve for dinner. I guess that is one benefit for not being able to sleep good at night, I can get a lot done before I have to go to work.
This is my sister in laws recipe and I was happy that I gave it a try.
