FLAVORFUL CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP



Flavorful Chicken Enchilada Soup image

A mild but flavorful soup I created after my local store stopped carrying the enjoyable Cugino's "Ridiculously Delicious! Chicken Enchilada Soup!" You can simmer the soup for less time, but the flavors need time to meld together.
