How to Make Vegetarian Enchilada Soup
First, soften the onion, pepper, and jalapeño. Then add the broth, enchilada sauce, tomatoes, beans, and corn.
Let it simmer for 15 minutes, then add a little cream cheese. It makes this soup so rich and velvety. I love the texture!
Enchilada Soup Topping Ideas
- Chopped avocado
- Crumbled feta or cotija cheese
- Crushed tortilla chips
- Diced red onion
- Fresh cilantro
Substitution Ideas
- If you don’t like things spicy, you can skip the jalapeño and use a mild enchilada sauce.
- If you want to keep this recipe vegan, try dairy-free cream cheese such as Kite Hill or Violife. Just be sure it’s plain and unflavored.
- The enchilada sauce adds tons of flavor to this recipe. I like the Frontera brand red enchilada sauce but sometimes I make my own using this enchilada sauce recipe.
How to Store and Reheat Leftover Soup
Let the soup cool slightly, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat, warm over low heat on the stovetop or microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Be sure not to bring the soup to a boil or the cream cheese may curdle.
