    My daughter and I love the chicken enchilada soup at Chili's, this one is pretty good too. I made mine minus the corn and beans and it still turned out pretty good. - 11/21/11

    Another winner! This soup is more like a mexican style chowder. It is so satisfying and it really does taste like an enchilada or even a tamale. I like it topped with tomatillo sauce and avocado. Delicious! - 8/20/10
