About this beef enchilada soup
This beef enchilada soup is the perfect combination of Mexican-inspired sweet and spice. It’s an easy meal that can be thrown into the crock-pot/slow cooker in just a few minutes and forgotten! Plus it has everything that makes a meal complete:
- Micronutrients and unrefined carbs from the green peppers and potatoes.
- Protein from the beef.
- Healthy fats from the coconut milk.
I like to enjoy my enchilada soup with a slice of sourdough.
Kitchen essentials
- A crockpot/slow cooker. That’s it!
Substitutions
- Red potatoes: I prefer red potatoes for this meal, but I imagine any potato would work the same. I haven’t tried any other varieties, but if you try something else, I would love to know how it worked out!
- Green bell peppers: can be substituted for any variety of sweet bell peppers.
- Beef chuck: beef chuck and stew meat can be used interchangeably. I have also made this soup with browned ground beef, and though it was delicious, I prefer the beef chuck. You could really use a variety of meats here.
