Chicken Enchilada Soup

Made this for Superbowl Sunday which was also a day where I was out watching Sam race so I did the first step in the crock pot.  I imagine it could all be done in the crock pot but mine is too small for that so after shredding the chicken I transferred the whole mess to a large pan.

Sam liked it, seemed the right thing for an after-race meal.  It got rave reviews all the way around.

Chicken Enchilada Soup  

2 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken
28 oz can green enchilada sauce
1 1/2 c chicken stock

Poach chicken in enchilada sauce and stock, then shred cooked chicken and return to the pot.  Add:

1 can drained and rinsed black beans
1 can drained and rinsed dark red kidney beans
2 cups corn
1 bell pepper, diced
4 oz green salsa verde

Simmer for about 10 minutes until flavors are blended.  Add:

1 cup half and half (or somewhat less cream)
4 oz cream cheese, cubed and at room temperature
salt and pepper to taste

Heat until cream cheese has pretty much disappeared. 

Top with whatever:  Pepperjack or other cheese, cilantro, tomato, avocado, salsa, onion, and tortilla chips.
