Looking for a new soup to add to your winter meal rotation? Warm your family with the familiar flavors of cumin, chile powder and smoky paprika with this Enchilada Soup Recipe that comes together in minutes.
About this time of the season my soup rotation is feeling a little tired. While chicken noodle, potato and hearty vegetable soups are all favorites, sometimes you just need to mix things up a bit. This Enchilada Soup will do just that.
Cumin, chile powder and smoky paprika make it a flavorful soup for the adults, without being too over the top for kids.
Finishing it off with your favorite mexican toppings such as shredded cheddar, avocado and fresh pico de gallo make it even more fun.
In addition, this soup is one of those great recipes that tastes even better the next day, making it an excellent thermos lunch! Check out how easy it is to make in this short video below.

I am definitely trying this! That imaginary person at the beginning of your post? Totally me. I work four ten-hour days so I can have 3-day weekends to work on my blog, and by the time I walk in the door at the end of a work day I can hardly think straight, let alone make a time-consuming recipe. This kind of dinner is just what I need!
