Preparation:
- Heat olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add flour and stir until it is all absorbed. Stir in the broth and simmer to make a smooth thick sauce. Stir in chiles and enchilada sauce until combined. Simmer for 15 minutes until lightly thickened. Add carrots, corn, green beans, mushrooms and pinto beans. Heat to a simmer. Stir in crema, salt and pepper; keep warm. Serve with hot pasta, and cheese and green onions, for garnish, if desired.
