Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup for the Crock Pot

Submitted by MsSally

"One morning, the weather man said it was going to be 4 degrees that night. So I knew I had to make soup and didn't want to go to the store. So I scrounged in the cabinet and this recipe was born. Use hotter sauce if want more heat. This has a mild spice just right for my guy, who doesn't like hot."

This was a pretty tasty soup - I doubled the recipe as I planned on taking some to the neighbor. I ended up cooking it on high for 4 hours then low the last hour. I used packaged enchilada sauce, fresh tomatoes, cream of chicken and nacho cheese soup. It was fairly thick so I didn't add pinto beans or brown rice.

Well, it wasn't 4 degrees this morning MsSally, but there was a nip in the air still, so I popped this into the crockpot at 8am and we ate this delicious soup/stew at 2pm! This is a GREAT recipe; I love to cook haute cuisine and gourmet cuisine, but there is always room for easy to make recipes like this that rely on storecupboard ingredients - wonderful! I had to sub a few things, being in France; I used a packet chicken soup mix and made it up with milk, I had to make an enchilada style sauce too.......everything else was as posted. We ate this with a rice mix that I make myself - brown rice, Camargue red rice, wild rice and Camargue white rice.....very tasty and NOT too spicy for Malcolm, who does not do spicy as I do!!!
