Chili's Chicken Enchilada Soup
By Todd Wilbur

Recipe Rating: 4.7 (23 reviews)
 

It's an item that you won't find on the menu at this national restaurant chain, but ask your server about the soups du jour and you'll find this one is available every day of the week. This soup also happens to be one of Chili's most raved-about items, and the subject of many a recipe search here on the site. Part of the secret in crafting your clone is the addition of masa harina -- a corn flour that you'll find in your supermarket near the other flours, or where all the Mexican foodstuffs are stashed.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lb. of skinless chicken breast fillets (approx. 3 fillets)

Delicious! Best chilis chicken enchilada soup recipe I've found! I do use 1/2 masa harina & 1/2 flour for less of a corn taste. Enjoy!

Soup was excellent. Similar to Chili's, not exact, but still really good. Didn't taste anything like Masa Harina. I used Maseca brand.

A favorite of family and friends. I have taken it to potluck suppers many times, and always get great comments.

This is my family's chicken noodle soup when they are sick! Always requested for the dinner table in the winter as well. Never stays around long enough to freeze.

Great soup!! I've made this several times, trying different variations. My favorite: use beef broth instead of chicken (adds an unbelieveable richness) and instead of cooking the chicken in the soup (which makes it chewy and tasteless) - I made the soup without the chicken and later shredded a rotisserie chicken that I topped the soup with along w/ the cheese, pico de gallo, and tortilla strips.

This is great! I make it all the time for football games on Sundays and it is a staple for Fall hunting at our cabin.

I love this. I see that someone compained about the masa harina. One time, I used Masa tamale mix instead because I couldn't find masa harina. It is coarser, and drasticly changes the flavor and texture of the soup. Anyway, Maseca is a brand of masa harina.

I love this soup--so does everyone who has my version. I couldn't find "Masa Harina", so I use 1/2 cup of flour with 1/2 cup of corn meal instead. I also use more broth and onions than suggested. My son's friends request this soup, and I've share this recipe with many, including my changes, as an option. We make it often.

I've made this version of this soup for a few years, it's a staple in our house - we make it at least once a month, I find it much better than the restaurant.

This is the best!!! Glad to spend the few pennies to get a great soup recipe. Tastes just like Chili's. This will make my kids very happy. Cut in half to make less soup. Works great.

This soup tasted like Masa Harina! Yuk! I recently ate at Chili's and I did not detect a single hint of Masa Harina. I suggest reducing the amount to 1 tablespoon Masa Harina, more cheese (Cheddar) and let it thicken on its own - just like when you add flour or cornstarch to thicken a soup/stew. There is another product on the Mexican market - Maseca - it is also corn based and is like flour. Many people I know use it to thicken garne guisada and other such dishes.

This soup is YUMMY! If you want to add a little kick to it add a couple of jalepenos.

Took this one to a church dinner and thought they were going to lick the crock pot when they were done! Same goes for taking it to work. Not a drop left! YUM YUM!

Not sure if I did something wrong, but I thought this soup was awful and did not taste anything like the restaurant. I shared it with a friend and she agreed. We had both recently been to Chili's and didn't think it tasted the same at all.

YUMMY. I add more broth because it seemed a little thick.
