CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP

INGREDIENTS
▢ 3 tablespoons olive oil
▢ 1 medium white onion, diced
▢ 1 jalapeño pepper diced
▢ 2 cloves garlic, minced
▢ ½ cup masa harina
▢ 2 ¼ cups red enchilada sauce (authentic version, easy 10-minute version, or 2 10-ounce cans of your favorite store-bought sauce)
▢ 3 cups chicken broth
▢ 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 1 ½ pounds)
▢ 1 (15.5-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
▢ 1 (14-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
▢ 2 (4-ounce) cans diced green chiles
▢ 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
▢ 4 ounces cream cheese, diced into small cubes
▢ Garnishes: cilantro, shredded Monterey jack cheese, tortilla strips, avocado slices

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and jalapeño. Cook for 3 minutes until the onions begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the masa harina and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the enchilada sauce, chicken broth, shredded chicken, black beans, diced tomatoes, diced green chiles, and salt. Stir together and cook for 10 minutes, uncovered, until the soup begins to simmer. Stir the soup occasionally to ensure the masa harina gets fully distributed throughout the soup.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream cheese until it is completely melted.
Serve in bowls garnished with shredded Monterey jack cheese, avocado slices, and cilantro.
