It doesn’t seem to matter what season it is, life is busy, especially with kids. As a mom, it is important for me to have some delicious recipes handy that I can make in half an hour or less.
My oldest daughter is a huge soup fan, so I am always trying to come up with new recipes so that we do not get bored of any too quickly.
When I was thinking of a recipe for this post, I was in the mood for some comforting enchiladas, so that was my inspiration for this chicken enchilada soup.

I knew the Janes MealMakers Oven Roasted Carved Chicken Breasts would be absolutely perfect for this recipe as they are fully cooked chicken breast strips which are ready in just 60 seconds – the perfect ingredient for a quick and easy family meal!
Let me tell you, this chicken enchilada soup was a huge hit with everyone. Even my youngest daughter, who does not share her sister’s passionate love for soup, asked for a second serving and to eat leftover soup the next day!
From start to finish this soup is ready 20 – 30 minutes.
It is so easy to make which is awesome because my kids now ask for this soup regularly. It’s become a popular one, one that is often served for a meal when friends are over.
I actually think this simple chicken enchilada soup tastes even a little better the second day – a bonus for yummy leftovers!

This soup looks amazing! Looking forward to trying it! As for what I would make with the chicken, I think I would try my famous honey mustard chicken, with brown and wild rice, with green beans!
