My husband absolutely LOVED this! He said it was one of the best meals I've cooked...and SO easy! I substituted the green chiles for a small package of jalapeño peppers and chopped them up. Also used two cans of diced tomatoes because I didn't have enchilada sauce. It was a little too spicy for me, but he loves spicy. We added the flour tortilla pieces in our bowls and sour cream to cool it down a little. Yummy with grilled cheese!

no broth on hand? use 2 chicken bouillon cubes and 2 cups of water and it will cook up just the same. I used flour tortillas and recommend that you not add them until at least half way through the cooking process or they will get mushy and fall apart. for extra heat, use medium or hot enchilada sauce.

Great soup- very hearty and flavorful with just the right amount of spice/heat. You could easily increase the heat by using medium or hot enchilada sauce. I used mild. I used flour tortillas because that is what I had on hand, and I did not add them until at least half way through the cooking time as I had a feeling that if they were in there the whole 6+ hours, they would turn to mush. Very easy to make; minimal prep; toss it all in and forget about it. Will definitely make this again.
