Most of the recipes call for boneless & skinless chicken breast meat but I started with some leftover smoked chicken quarters and broke them down into edible chunks.

If you are interested in details, do an internet search on "Chilis Chicken Enchilada Soup", that is where I started. Here are the players. I added some southwestern corn to the traditional recipe mix, promised mom we would have some veggies while she was gone.

Began rendering some Chourizo (why would you saute veggies in oil when you have a chance to add flavor) and added the onions, garlic & jalapenos.

Everybody in the pot and bring it to a simmer.

It's simmering for 30-40 minutes but I've already done a taster, really good and yep, can definitely taste the smoked chicken flavors!

Thanks for lookin.

From the looks of this, Dave, I don't think you needed any help to figure out 10 dinners. :hungry:

This one has enough cheese to plug ........ well QT is a family site but suffice it to say there are other less constipated recipes. The texture is more like a thick stew or chili. We like it but may not be for everybody.

And good job keeping the promise to eat your veggies. Mama will be happy..........









And we all know how important that is :mrgreen:
