How do I make this Low Point Chicken Enchilada Soup?
This soup is super easy to make and can be made on the stove, in a crock pot, or in the Instant Pot. You can use leftover cooked chicken on the stove-which makes dinner only 25 minutes away!
If you are making on the stove you will start by opening all the cans of beans, green chiles, tomatoes, and enchilada sauce.
Place chicken, beans, enchilada sauce, corn, green chiles, tomatoes, taco seasoning, and chicken broth into large dutch oven pot and cook over medium high heat on the stove top.
Cook for 30-35 minutes (if using raw chicken) or until chicken is cooked through.
If using cooked chicken, simmer on medium high for 15-20 minutes.
Remove chicken from pot and shred chicken ( if using raw chicken) and then place back into the pot.
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add stir the cubes into the soup mixture.
Then stir in the non fat plain Greek yogurt.
Continue stirring until the cream cheese has melted completely into the soup. Remove from heat and serve.
Top with light mozzerella, non fat sour cream, non fat Greek yogurt, avocado, shredded cheese, tortilla strips, for additional points

I have made this soup several times and I love it. I live alone so when I make it I put 1/2 of the recipe (except for dairy) into a freezer bag and put in the freezer, then cook the other half. When I am wanting the soup again all I have to do is thaw it out (if not cooking in IP) and it's easy peasy - I don't have to make the recipe again! Thanks for this great recipe!
