The Soup That Changed My World ::  5-Minute Creamy Enchilda Soup

11/24/2012

In my story of how I came to be a Shelf Reliance consultant (here), I mentioned how I contacted a consultant, asked a lot of questions and she generoulsy sent me the ingredients to make a soup, 5-Minute Creamy Enchilda Soup to be exact.

HOLY GOODNESS!  The week I joined as a consultant, I had a surprise visit at 4:30 from a family of 4.  The husband was doing some plumbing consulting work for us and I was really enjoying the company of his wife while our kids wrecked havoc in our playroom.  I figured it was a win-win to invite them for dinner and I had just enough ingredients left from my sample pack to whip this soup together again (leaving out the sour cream due to a dairy allergy).

My friends were IMPRESSED and became the first people to agree to host a party :)  
The selling points:  
-how simple it was to make, 
-how healthy it was 
(their kid who refuses to eat vegetables ate LOTS AND LOTS of servings of vegetables that night), 
-how delicious it tasted.

5-minute Creamy Enchilada Soup

Prep:  5 minutes
Cook:  20 minutes
Yield:  8 servings, 1 cup each

Ingredients:
6 cups water
3/4 cup THRIVE tomato powder (perhaps the most useful/versatile items EVER)
2 T cumin
1 T garlic powder
1-2 t salt
1/2 cup THRIVE freeze dried green chili peppers (optional, I didn't have these and the soup was still perfect)
3/4 cup THRIVE freeze dried tomato dices
1/2 cup THRIVE freeze dried corn (one of our favorite foods to eat straight out of the can!)
3/4 cup THRIVE instant black beans
1/2 cup THRIVE freeze dried red bell peppers (also optional)
1/4 cup THRIVE freeze dried chopped onions (about one bajillion times tastier than French's Dried Onions)
1/2 cup THRIVE freeze dried chopped chicken

For the THICKENER (I made this once with the thickener and once without, didn't miss it one bit!)
1 cup water
3 T THRIVE butter powder
3 T flour
2 T THRIVE instant milk powder
  • Mix in small bowl until smooth

Directions:
  1. Put water in large pot
  2. Whisk in tomato powder of medium high heat
  3. Add spices.  Taste and add more spices if desired
  4. Add the rest of the soup ingredients and mix well
  5. Bring to a boil, cover, simmer for 20 minutes
  6. OPTIONAL:  SLOWLY add thickener until reach desired consistency (you won't use all the thickener)
  7. OPTIONAL:  garnish in each bowl with sour cream, avocados, cheese (don't rehydrate first and enjoy the crunch) &/or tortilla chips


Bon Appetit,
