Description

All the flavors of chicken enchiladas in a bowl of soup. The soup is thickened up with a can of refried beans instead of dairy…this soup can be made dairy free if you want it to be. This version is made in your slow cooker.

Ingredients

1 cup chicken broth
1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
1 (4 oz) can diced green chiles
1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce (mild, medium or hot…whatever you like)
