Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup. Original recipe adapted with source quantities and workflow.

Follow the cooking flow and check each component at the stated endpoint.

## Ingredients

- 1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts — raw

- ½ count small green bell pepper — finely chopped

- ½ count small onion — finely chopped

- ½ count jalapeño — seeded and finely chopped

- 5 oz Tomatoes with green chilies — canned; undrained

- ½ container Chicken broth — one 32-ounce container. Fraction of a 32-ounce package; the package size is preserved from the publisher.

- 2 oz Diced green chilies — canned

- 0.5 oz Taco seasoning — dry mix; one 1-ounce package

- 4 oz room temp cream cheese — cut into small pieces

- ⅛ cup cream

- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese

- Not specified Cooking oil. Source instruction requires oil but gives no quantity or type.

## Equipment

- Lidded saucepan or Dutch oven

- Mixing bowl

## Cook

Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.

1. **Aromatics.** Heat the unspecified cooking oil over medium in a pot. Sauté onion, bell pepper and jalapeño until softened.

2. **Simmer.** Add chicken, undrained tomatoes, green chilies, taco mix and broth. Cover and simmer 20–25 minutes, adjusting heat as needed.

3. **Cream.** Remove chicken and shred it. While it is out, whisk cream cheese, cream and cheddar into the soup until the cream cheese melts.

4. **Finish.** Return shredded chicken, stir and serve.

## Attention timeline

Stages can overlap; endpoints and appliance behavior override the estimate.

## Flavor and capacity

## Nutrition per serving

Calories: 356 kcal; protein: 33.0 g; total carbs: 4.3 g; fiber: 1.2 g; net carbs: 3.1 g

Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.

Known allergens for these plates: milk. Check product labels and cross-contact.

## First-cook checks and limits

- Oil appears only in method and has no amount/type.

- Source total 35 min differs from 5 min prep plus 25 min cook.

- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 8 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.

- Adapted from Annie Holmes. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.

- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.

## Leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
