Directions: |
Directions:Saute garlic and onions in oil in large pan or Dutch oven until soft. Add broth, sauces, canned tomatoes, chiles, worcestershire sauce, salt, sugar and black pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Whisk flour/water mixture into soup. Bring back to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, reduce heat an simmer about 5 to 10 minutes. Add chicken and simmer another 5 to 10 mins. Add evaporated milk, sour cream and 1/2 of the cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Pour soup into bowls, top with chopped cilantro, more co-jack cheese and tortilla strips (in that order).
Note: Depending on the amount of "heat" you like, use either mild, medium or hot enchilada sauce. I like it with mild enchilada sauce and the chopped tomatoes with jalapenos -- it gives it a little 'kick", but I can still eat it. I made it with medium enchilada sauce and it was a bit too spicy for me. But, alas! I am a wimp when it comes to heat in foods. I found that if it's a bit spicy for me, if I add a little more sour cream to my bowl of soup, it takes some of the heat out.
Also you can make your own fried tortilla strips -- cut corn tortillas into strips, place on sprayed baking sheet and bake at 400 until crisp. |

Notes: I originally found this recipe on line at Robbie'sRecipes.com That site is full of fabulous recipes. Check it out some time. However, I have changed this slightly to suit my tastes, but must give thanks to Applebee's and to Robbie's Recipes for this fabulous soup! It is soooooo good, you won't believe it.
