Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 lb of shredded rotisserie chicken, or any shredded/diced cooked chicken. (about 4 cups)
• 2 (10 oz) cans red enchilada sauce (mild or medium)
• 1 (14 oz) can fire-roasted tomatoes, diced
• 1 (14 oz) can creamed corn
• Corn tortillas to thicken (optional, see note)
• Toppings (optional) sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, corn chips, avocado, sliced radishes

Instructions

1. Put everything in a stockpot and simmer on medium heat until it simmers.
2. See notes regarding thickening.
3. Serve with toppings as desired.

Notes

To Thicken:

• Add 5-10 torn corn tortillas if you like a thicker soup and let simmer. Start with 5 and add more until desired consistency. (The torn tortillas will thicken the soup as they soften and disperse into the liquid)
• Or mix 1-2 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/3 cup of the hot soup. Mix until dissolved and add the mixture back to the soup and simmer.

Options:

• Add a can of beans.
• Add a bit of heavy cream if you'd like it creamy.
• If your soup is ever too spicy try adding: Something sweet (sugar, honey, etc.), more liquid (water, canned tomatoes, or broth), or a bit of heavy cream if you like a creamy soup.
