Steps:

• In a pitcher or large measuring cup, combine the masa harina with 1 quart of the water. Stir until all lumps dissolve.
• In a large pot, combine the oil, chicken base, onions, cumin, chili powder, granulated garlic, salt, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add masa harina mixture to the onions and bring to a boil. Once it starts to bubble, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. (This will eliminate any raw taste from the masa harina.)

• OPTIONAL: For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to puree larger chunks, until it reaches the desired consistency.

CREAMY CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP (CHILI'S COPYCAT RECIPE)

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium high heat. When it is hot, add the chopped onion. Saute over medium high for about 4 minutes, until the onions are starting to look translucent.
• Add 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoons each of cumin and chili powder.
• Add minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Add 5 cups chicken broth. I love to combine water with Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base; I use this product every time a soup calls for broth.
• In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, add 2 cups of water. Add 1 cup of masa harina gradually, whisking constantly. (This helps avoid graininess.) Add masa mixture to the pot.
• Add the can of enchilada sauce and the chopped Velveeta to the pot. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring every now and then.
• Once the soup has come to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium low.
• Add the shredded chicken. If you just carved a rotisserie chicken, you can add a few larger chicken bones to the pot so that it absorbs the flavor while the soup simmers.
• Simmer the soup for 30-40 minutes or until it is nice and thick.
• Meanwhile, make the Pico de Gallo, click here for the recipe.
• Serve soup garnished with a generous amount of fresh Pico de Gallo, (again, this is a required component of the soup!)
• Optional toppings include shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled corn tortilla chips, and avocado slices.
