The WOW! Buzz

After the very warm and humid summer here in Chicago, this Labor Day weekend had none of that – it was cool, somewhat cloudy and temps maybe in the high 70’s.

With the fall-like weather, instead of firing up the grill, I decided to whip out a recipe that I typically reserve for the fall and winter.  A couple of years ago, I found a recipe for a Chicken Enchilada Soup that was very close to what you can get at your local Chili’s.  It’s so close that even my husband can’t tell the difference.

I love recipes that don’t have too many ingredients, simple prep and cooking time isn’t too outrageous.  In addition, who doesn’t love the smell of delicious food wafting through the house.

The Chicken Enchilada Soup recipe is pretty straight forward.  You might not have some of the ingredients such as the Masa Harina or Cumin but they are only a couple bucks each and you can pick them up at your local grocery store.

The nice thing about this recipe is that you can also put your own twist on it as well.  I like to add a little extra Chili Powder and Cumin.  When I serve it up, I like to add a Pico de Gallo, Cheddar Cheese and a little Sour Cream to the top.

What is one of your favorite recipes that reminds you of fall?
