Easy enchilada soup with ranch salsa, a warm, comforting winter soup any night of the week!

It’s soup season! Well, it’s supposed to be… has your winter been hot and cold?? I love a warm soup on a cold night. Especially a soup like my enchilada soup that is super quick to throw together. You can even put this entire soup in your slow cooker before you leave for the day, and have it waiting for you when you arrive home. The smell is DELICIOUS!

Here in North Carolina, it will be snowing one day, 60˚ the next…. CRAZY!

Enchilada soup is sure to warm your belly on a cold evening, and spice it up on a warm one. You could easily double this and freeze in individual containers for lunches, or dinners anytime. This makes a great meal to take to a needy family! Who doesn’t love Mexican?!

This Ranch Salsa is real winner — whether served with tortilla chips as an appetizer, or as a topping for all your mexican favorites, it’s sure to become a staple in your house! I keep it in a mason jar and put it on salad, tacos, soup, dip chips and veggies in it. It will keep for about a week.. but, mine has never lasted that long!
