    This looks fantastic. I am looking at the picture of your shredded chicken. It looks like it’s mixed with a sauce or a seasoning. Can you share what you mixed your chicken with? Thanks!!

    This just blew my mind! I adore enchiladas but never thought about making soup ~ what a great easy weeknight meal, since we always have rotisserie chicken in the fridge AND El Paso in the cupboard ~ love it!
