Introduction

This recipe came from the chicken enchilada recipe I submitted earlier. I didn't need to make that many chicken enchiladas, so I made this up to make a slightly different meal. I used the remaining sauce from the chicken enchilada recipe, then added the remaining chicken and added the chicken broth. This recipe came from the chicken enchilada recipe I submitted earlier.

    This turned out pretty good. I actually didn't add but a little of the broth because the soup was already "soupy" with the cream of chicken soup, the liquid from the Rotel, and the sour cream. I was also trying to cut back on some of the sodium.
    Good quick meal alone or with a sandwich.

    When I heated this up I only added about 3/4c. of chicken broth. I left it more on the thicker side like a chowder. I also added some corn and the family was able to enjoy two meals from one. Thanks!! ~D - 2/27/08

    At this moment I am making the enciladas and have tons of leftover cream and chicken so I am going to make the soup. Should I freeze or just put the cream and chicken mixture in the refrigerator? - 9/15/08

    I have recently frozen the cream sauce and the chicken separately, but I have also made the soup and frozen it. Just depends on when you want to eat it. It works either way!

    Made a few adjustments, like other people said I didn't end up using any chicken broth, but I did (accidentally) use the whole can of cream of chicken instead of half. I liked it as a thick chowder. Added black beans also, and food processed the Rotel, chiles and onions so they weren't so chunky. - 1/3/10

    I made this along with the enchiladas. To cut down on sodium I poach the chicken then reserve the cooking liquid to use as broth, & instead of using a can of cream soup I use the recipe here on Spark for Make Your Own "Cream Of" Soup. Will add corn & cumin when I reheat the soup, that sounds good! - 10/23/10

    I added 2 large whole wheat tortillas cut into noodle shape strips to the leftover enchilada stuff plus 2 cups of boullion. Both recipes were good, but I think I liked the soup better! - 6/20/08

    This is a great way to make two meals from one recipe I would say the soup isn't as good as the enchiladas but it is still a great quick meal. Fabulous idea thanks so much! - 5/23/07

    We used mild for Rotel and chilies, awesome flavor, very low calories. We loved it, my son and husband had seconds. We crumbled up tortilla chips on top for crunch, great tip. - 3/3/15

    My boyfriend and I both loved this recipe! I added two tablespoons green enchilada sauce for more flavor, and used slightly less broth for a thicker soup. - 5/21/12

    Creamy goodness! Great on a cold winter day. The extra bonus is that I was able to make the soup at the same time as the Light Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. A nice filling dish. - 1/18/12

    I really liked this recipe. I wish it more clearly defined serving size. I figured 1 cup per serving but that might not have been right. Didn't see the comments about using less broth until after, but next time i will make it more chowder-like. - 1/16/12

    This was so tasty. I had cooked the chicken in the slow cooker the day before with some cumin, garlic, chili powder, and green taco sauce for chicken tacos. I hac enough left over for this recipe. I used only a cup of low sodium fat free chicken stock. It turned out perfectly creamy and spicy! - 11/29/11

    Looking forward to making this along with the enchiladas. Probably be making the enchiladas for myself for multiple dinners, so I'll freeze half and make this for a different week of dinners. Sounds so yummy! - 1/1/11

    We really enjoyed this. I, too, used a little less broth so was more of a chowder consistency. Didn't have fresh cilantro, but threw in 1/2 package of taco seasoning, mexican corn (with peppers) and black beans. Very different and filling. Will make this again! - 10/25/10

    It was amazing. I made it just like the recipe said and it was one of the best Mexican soups I have had. So yummy and I liked the more brothy consistency. So yummy and I doubled the recipe for dinner another day or for a sick friend. Yum! - 10/6/10

    I used low-fat sour cream instead of fat-free, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I loved loved loved it! It didn't taste diet and even though I added calories to it by going with the low-fat instead of fat-free it was still low calorie enough. It was creamy, tasty and filling! - 8/11/10

    This is very good! I will definately make this again. The only problem I had was when cans come in different sizes but the recipe says "half a can" I wasn't sure which can to use. I made a double batch so we'd have left overs. - 1/24/10
