Guidelines for Making Chicken Soup with Green Enchiladas
How to Use a Slow Cooker:
In a large slow cooker, put chicken and green enchilada sauce with chicken broth. Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours.
⭐Take out the chicken and tear it into small pieces. Put shredded chicken, jack cheese, cream cheese, half and half, and green salsa in the slow cooker. Set the slow cooker to a low heat setting and mix until the cheeses have melted. Add more hot sauce or extra salsa according to your preference.
⭐Serve and have fun! Tasty with avocado, cilantro, green onion, and sour cream on top.
How to Use an Instant Pot:
🌟Cook your chicken quickly using high pressure and 1 cup of broth for 8 minutes. Release quickly after 10 minutes. Take out the chicken and tear it into small pieces.
⭐Turn on the pot to medium heat. Add the rest of the broth, shredded chicken, green enchilada sauce, salsa, and heat until everything is warm. Put cheese and the rest of the ingredients. Mix until the cheese has melted. Add salt and pepper to taste, if necessary.
Instructions for using the stove:
In a big pot, put in chicken and broth. Cook the chicken until it is fully cooked and can be easily shredded. Take out the chicken and tear it into small pieces.
✨Put shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, half and half, jack cheese, cream cheese, and green salsa in the pot. Mix and heat the soup until it is hot and the cheese has melted. Add salt and pepper to taste, if necessary. Offer green salsa, hot sauce, and sour cream on the side. Have fun!
REMINDERS:
⭐This recipe creates a soup with a gentle to moderate level of spiciness. To make it spicier, you can add more green salsa, green chili hot sauce, or chopped jalapenos.
Before adding cream cheese to the soup, ensure that it is soft. The fastest way to make it soft is to take it out of the packaging and put it in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat it in the microwave for a few seconds at a time on low power until it becomes very soft.
