This delicious enchilada soup can be made either in the Instant Pot or the slow cooker. It’s hearty and healthy. I’ve been on a bit of an enchilada kick lately and this is a nice recipe for keeping that same flavour profile, but changing things up a bit.

yellow bowl with creamy rose coloured soup on top and black slow cooker on bottom with chunky soup. Text reads "Enchilada Soup freezer to crock pot"I love having soups made ahead in the freezer. Whether it’s our vegetarian taco soup, homestyle chicken noodle, or Italian wedding soup, they hit the spot on a cold winter day, but they are also a great meal to cook on hot summer days without needing to turn the oven on.

This recipe is gluten free. It can fit into a variety of diets.

Soups are also a great way to stretch a dollar as they can feed many and still keep you on budget.

1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream

  2. Remove excess air. Seal and freeze.

Slow Cooker Cooking instructions:

  1. Thaw.
  2. Cook for 4-6 hours on low in the Crock Pot.
  3. Shred the chicken.
  4. Add the cream, sour cream, and shredded cheese in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  5. If you want, you can serve with tortilla strips and cilantro.

Instant Pot Cooking instructions:

  1. Thaw.
