Mexican Chicken Vegetable Soup image

This recipe is my variation of a recipe I found for Chili's Chicken Enchilada Soup. I particularly like using masa harina, an ingredient with which I had never cooked. When the chicken broth and masa harina thicken, one can add or subtract ingredients at will. I love my version, but you might like more heat or fewer vegetables...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1-2 tsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 pepper, any color, diced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili or taco powder
1 tsp garlic powder
3 c chicken stock
1/2 c masa harina
1 c mild salsa
1 can(s) stewed tomatoes, diced
4 oz velveeta cheese, diced
1 oz pepperjack cheese, diced
1 can(s) black beans
1/2 c frozen corn
1-2 c cooked chicken, shredded or diced
sour cream and tortilla strips as desired

Steps:

  • 1. In a large soup pan, add olive oil and diced onions, diced peppers and spices. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, combine chicken broth and masa harina. Whisk until combined.
  • 3. Pour the Masa Harina mixture into the soup pot with vegetables and cook, stirring, until mixture has thickened--about 2-3 minutes
  • 4. Add salsa and stewed tomatoes and bring to a low boil.
  • 5. Add cheeses and stir until cheese is melted. Turn heat to low.
  • 6. Stir in black beans, corn, and finely diced/shredded cooked chicken. Heat for about 10 minutes for all the flavors to blend.
  • 7. Serve with sour cream and tortillas strips if desired.
  • 8. Note: To get the cooked chicken, I cooked 1 large bone-in, skinned salted chicken breast with 1/2 cup salsa and 1/2 cup chicken broth in a covered skillet on low-med heat for 45 minutes. After it cooled, I took off the meat and diced it.
