This was SOOO good! I used cheddar cheese soup instead of cream of chicke (to make vegetarian) and used a poblano pepper instead of bell. It was really good, but I felt like it was missing just a little something...I added just a dash of Hidden Valley Ranch Fiesta Ranch seasoning packet and that made it perfect! Not to mention it was SUPER easy!

This made a very tasty soup- one we'll be making again! I made this in the slow cooker and added chicken breasts which I shredded before serving.

I substituted fresh diced tomatoes for the canned and I used 2 ten ounce cans of mild green enchilada sauce. Even with these changes, my picky family really liked this. Perfect for a cold, dreary, rainy fall day. I loved that I could throw everything in the crock pot in the morning, and dinner was ready when I came home. The house smelled terrific too!

Very good! My Dad said he liked it a lot. I thought it was a bit over cooked at 8 hours. I would like to try it at 4 hours. I think the veggies were over cooked at 8 hours. The onion was gone, couldn't find any left. the beans were starting to blow up. The flavor was really good. Understand my crock pot is a beast. Dad said it was a do over dish, meaning he liked it, I was iffy.. I think it is very good and will try it on a day where I won't be gone so long. <br/><br/>Look forward to mastering the veggie version, then I'll try it with some grilled chicken. Yum!
