*Caution, affiliate links ahead…Don’t worry, I’ll use the money for something practical, like wine…. or a pony!

Cozy up with this tasty One Pot Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup! It's healthy, hearty, and full of robust flavor! If you only ever make one mexican soup recipe, it should be this one!

I must be in a funk lately because I really don’t feel like writing up a fun or sentimental anecdote about how I came up with the idea for this soup, why my family loves it, yada, yada. It’s soup. It’s a really good soup, but it’s still soup. Does it really need a backstory? Is it really crucial to the flavor of the soup for you know the origins of how it came to be?

For the sake of brevity here is the short and sweet version:

Baja Chicken Enchilada Soup. It’s really, really good. You should make it. Your family will like it. The End.

Tips:

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days

This soup makes a great freezer soup. Make a large batch and freeze in smaller airtight containers for up to 6 months! (great to bring to a friend that is recovering from childbirth, illness, surgery, etc)
