Chicken Enchilada Soup
Recipes » Soups, Stews and Chili » Meat and Poultry
In the fall, when we have kids over after football games, this has to be one of their favorite things to have. The flavor of this soup is really authentic. You can find masa harina flour next to the regular flour or in the mexican sections of the store. This is a 'must have' ingredient.
