Stovetop Instructions:
In a large stockpot, add chicken and broth. Simmer until chicken is done and can easily be pulled apart. Remove chicken and shred.
Add shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, half and half, jack cheese, cream cheese, and green salsa to the pot. Stir and heat soup until it is warm and the cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve with additional green salsa, hot sauce, and sour cream on the side. Enjoy!
Tips:
~To add spice use additional green salsa or a green chili hot sauce.
~Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before adding to the soup. Cold cream cheese will not melt very well. You
can even soften in the microwave before adding to the soup.
~For best “meltability” , always grate your own cheese. Pre-packaged grated cheese is coated in potato starch which helps prevent
sticking in the package. Unfortunately, this also keeps it from melting very well.
