Happy Weekend to you!
This year I’m trying a few new things when it comes to posting! One is being a part of a group of bloggers who are doing fun things together monthly, and today is one such post!
This group of ladies is the creation of the beautiful Wendy from Around my Family Table. She came up with the idea of finding 12 bloggers who share 12 recipes on the 12th of each month with 12 ingredients or less. Each blogger is taking a turn coming up with the theme for the month and January happens to be my month!
I thought that you all would love some quick, easy, and healthy weeknight meal ideas and that was the challenge presented to the other ladies for this month. They have really brought some amazing recipes this month and I know you all are going to love them. So be sure to check out the links at the bottom of the post for lots of great (and quick and healthy) meal ideas.
The recipe I’m sharing today is a Quick, Easy, and Healthy White Chicken Enchilada Soup. What I love about this soup is that you throw everything in a pan and just bake it. Yes, a baked soup! There’s no need to stand over a stove stirring when the oven can do all the work for you. Just be sure to use an oven safe pan! This recipes was a big hit with the family and came together in a flash. I know you are going to love it.
Quick, Easy, and Healthy White Chicken Enchilada Soup
- Yield: Serves 4-6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cans beans (small white, white kidney, and pinto are all great), drained and rinsed
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 can diced Hatch green chilis
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon each: garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, AND salt
- Optional ideas for serving:
- Sour cream, avocado, slices green onions, shredded cheese, jalapenos, salsa, hot sauce
Instructions
- In a medium-sized, oven-safe pot or dutch oven with lid add all of the ingredients (chicken through spices) and stir to combine.
- Place the lid on the dutch oven or pot and bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve hot with optional ingredients.
Notes
This soup is a great candidate for the slow-cooker! Throw everything in and cook on high for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through.
Wendy sure came up with a good lookin’ group of ladies did she not?!

Awww…thanks for the kind words Melissa! 🙂 But I have to say…baked soup….BRILLIANT! Why have I never thought of this. Thanks for inspiring me and for a delicious recipe.
Ok, Melissa. You may have had me at the word “enchilada” and soup is just so high on my comfort food list right now so this is just a “win win”. But then you threw in the avocado?? I die. Pinning and so happy to be a part of this awesome series with you!
YUM! I love enchiladas, so I’m sure turning them into a soup is just as amazing!
I cannot believe this is made in the oven! Genius, I tell ya.
Trying this one for dinner tomorrow 🙂 I’m going to try it with our leftover grilled chicken!
Baked soup?! Yum! I’m definitely trying this
This looks so delicious! I love how easy it is, thanks for sharing your recipe!
Gosh, I wish the white chicken chili I made the other day looked 1/2 as good as your soup! This says comfort all the way!
We just got us a little dutch and this was the first recipe we made. It was so easy and so Yummy! Loved the recipe and the whole idea! Thanks Melissa!
