Green Chicken Enchilada Soup
Tangy and rich, this green chicken enchilada soup will remind you of your favorite dish from your favorite Mexican restaurant. Sour cream is stirred into the soup before serving, and Monterey Jack cheese may be added on top for even more creamy goodness. If you like a little heat, be sure to choose hot green chilies, and add some extra jalapeño slices to your bowl. We like this with crunchy corn tortilla chips and a green salad.
