Even though they have many other delicious dishes on the menu, I always find myself ordering Chicken Enchilada Soup from Chili’s. Here's the skinny version I make at home. —Traci Campbell, Saginaw, Texas

Ingredients

  • 2 corn tortillas (6 inches)
  • 1/2 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • SOUP:
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 5 cups water, divided
  • 2 teaspoons reduced-sodium chicken base
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/3 cup masa harina
  • 8 ounces reduced-fat process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
  • 3/4 cup pico de gallo
  • 6 tablespoons shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Directions

  • 1. Cut each tortilla lengthwise into thirds; cut each widthwise into 1/4-in. strips. Place strips and oil in a resealable plastic bag; shake to coat. Combine chili powder, salt and cayenne. Add to bag; shake to coat.
