Instructions
- In a 6-quart slow cooker, put in the chicken, enchilada sauce, and chicken broth.
- Set it to cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours until the chicken becomes tender and can be shredded easily. Take out the chicken and shred it.
- Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker, and add the shredded cheese, softened cream cheese, half and half, and green salsa. Switch the slow cooker to warm and mix until the cheeses melt.
- Season with salt and pepper to your preference. Add hot sauce or more salsa if desired.
- Pressure cook the chicken with 1 cup of broth for 8 minutes on high. After 10 minutes, release the pressure quickly. Take out the chicken and shred it.
- Set the pot to medium sauté, add the remaining broth, shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, and salsa, and heat until warm. Incorporate the cheese and the remaining ingredients, stirring until the cheese is melted.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Add hot sauce or more salsa if desired.
- In a large stockpot, place the chicken and broth. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and can be easily shredded. Remove the chicken and shred it.
- Put the shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, half and half, shredded cheese, cream cheese, and green salsa into the pot. Stir and heat the soup until it is warm and the cheese has melted.
- Season with salt and pepper according to taste. Add hot sauce or more salsa if desired.
