Chili's Enchilada Soup Recipe

You’ll find the perfect blend of spices and textures in this dish, combining tender chicken, creamy cheese, and flavorful broth.
A crucial step is to sauté garlic first for added depth.
Using masa harina gives the soup a traditional touch and a wonderful thickness.
Don’t forget to adjust the seasoning at the end; a little extra cumin and chili powder can make all the difference!
