The humble beginnings of cream of chicken soup...homemade stock, milk, and seasoningsI have found several recipes for making your own condensed cream of...but THIS one over at Tammy's Recipe Blog sounded the most promising.
I wanted to make some Chicken Enchiladas since I had all the meat left from my rooster after simmering him for stock a couple of days ago. And I had 9 homemade whole wheat tortilla shells left from our beef/bean burritos yesterday. A couple more key ingredients and I was ready to create!
Cream of chicken soupNo worries if there are some little lumpies in your soup...just strain them out as I did!
1 medium onion cooked in 2 TBL butter till softAdd the onion to your soup mixture
Add about 3 cups diced/shredded chicken, 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 cups sour cream to the soup /onion mixture
Homemade tortillasShmear a thin layer of your meat/soup/cheese mixture in the bottom of a 9X13
Then fit in a layer of tortilla shells...I tear them up to make them fit
Then a layer of your soup mixture.
Another layer of your tortilla shells
Then the final layer of your soup mixture
Sprinkle top with the shredded cheddar of your choice.
Typically we buy the white cheddarTillamook from Costco, but that just does NOT look very appealing on an already beigey dish!
Oven ready Chicken Enchiladas!Bake at about 350F till hot and bubbly and the cheese is all melted, maybe 40 minutes.
So delicious on this chilly autumn day!
I would encourage you to try making your own condensed soups.
A real money saver, and for heaven's sake...no MSG, no weird chemically tasting stuff...just your own ingredients straight from your freezer and spice cabinet!
Could it be ANY easier-peasier?

Those enchiladas sound good!!! Look good and very tasty, too!!! I remember an American friend made chicken enchiladas when I was still living in Germany. They were really good and dear, because some of the ingredients were really hard to find!!! Have a lovely week. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
That looks so delicious! I'm going to try it!
Looks delicious! This house loves enchiladas!
