Chipotle Chicken Enchilada Soup

This Chipotle Chicken Enchilada Soup was a randomly delicious creation a few years ago, and still happens to be one of my all time faves.  This is definitely not a genius moment by any means because it’s quite possibly the easiest soup to make, but it’s SO good and SO simple.

Something amazing happens when you sauté onion & garlic with chipotle paste.  I’m talking insanely good flavors making their way through your kitchen right about now.
