In January, I took part in a 6 week health challenge and used this easy chicken enchilada soup recipe as one of my meals. I will discuss more about the details of the challenge in a later post.
Following the challenge that helped me loose 20 pounds, almost 10% body fat, and a pant size. I was more focused on making healthier meals. This easy chicken enchilada soup is an old Weight Watcher recipe I pulled out to make.
This recipe is simple to put together and is a meal that I can use to continue to help me in my weight loss journey. The family loved it and had no idea it was a healthy dinner. I did serve it with chips, cheese, and sour cream for my family, but you want to omit that if you want a truly healthy meal.
