Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a slow cooker, combine your cooked chicken, rinsed white beans, and cream cheese. Then, add in the corn, green chiles, and green enchilada sauce. Sprinkle in onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt, followed by the chicken broth. Mix until combined.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and cook the soup on high heat for 2-3 hours until bubbling and hot throughout.
  3. For a quicker method, combine all ingredients in a large pot over medium heat, stirring gently, and bring to a gentle simmer within about 10 minutes.
  4. Once your soup is hot, ladle it into bowls. Top with crispy tortilla strips, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
  5. Enjoy your Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Soup with warm cornbread or crispy tortilla chips.
