Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth, green enchilada sauce, condensed cream of chicken soup, and sour cream. Whisk vigorously until smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Add the drained and chopped green chiles and shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend to the pot. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup to your desired consistency. For a chunkier soup, blend lightly; for a smoother soup, blend until creamy. (5-10 minutes)

03

Step

Gently stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the soup. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Place the pot over medium-low heat and allow the soup to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is heated through. Be careful not to let the soup boil. (30 minutes)

05

Step

Ladle into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as: A dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema, Fresh cilantro, diced avocado, crumbled tortilla chips

For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
Roasting the green chiles before adding them to the soup will enhance their flavor.
Adjust the amount of green chiles to your preferred level of spiciness.
For a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully blend the soup in batches using a regular blender.
