Tis the Season for Soup!
I recently made one of my favorite Fall soups an had several people ask for the recipe, so I thought I would share it with all of you! This Chicken Enchilada Soup is not only delicious but also a healthier version. It's gluten, dairy and soy free!!! My whole family loves this soup. Every year on Christmas night I make this soup, along with a couple others, and it's always a hit with our big family gathering. My son's birthday is Christmas Day, so we always have a big party with family that night to celebrate him. The "Soup Buffet" is always a hit and everyone is shocked when I say this soup is made with PUMPKIN! Even if you're not a pumpkin lover, you will enjoy this soup. You would never know it had pumpkin if I didn't tell you! The pumpkin makes it creamy, nutrient dense and packs vitamins that help boost your immune system. I hope you enjoy and when you make it post a picture on your story or page and tag Strength Healing!
