I generally try to make and post recipes here on the blog that are a little different and haven’t been done a million times. But then again, I think it’s good to post recipes from time to time that do tend to be the staples to a lot of us. I mean, we’ve all seen plenty of Slow Cooker Enchilada Soup recipes and a lot of you have probably made at least of few of them. Maybe you even have a favorite. But I still want to share with you my way of making it in case it gives you any new inspiration for how to make yours!
If you’ve seen some of my other recipes, then you’ve probably guessed that I’m quite a fan of fire-roasted diced tomatoes. I love the little extra smokiness and richness they give in recipes like this.
I also used some fresh tomatoes to have that juicy bite in every spoonful and to up the nutrition even more. Check out my thoughts on using canned vs. fresh in #4 in this post.
Use some whipped cream cheese to make it just a little richer and creamier without making it heavy. This soup is perfect whether you want to warm up on a cold day or have a light meal on a warm day.

I tried this soup exactly and found it to be a good one. I made it again, and added some ingredients like spices such as Curry, and just a little as it is overpowering. I also added some flavoring such as a little pineapple juice and apple juice and am still experimenting with it all. But that is what a soup is it is everyone’s variety of tastes and ingredients.
