KAREN'S CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Put all this in the large pot in no special order except the broth and meat first. Chop all veggies finely, cube the squash. Cut kale into 2" squares.

KAREN'S CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP

Steps:

• 1. In large pot, combine oil, chicken base, onions, and spices. Sauté until onions are soft and clear (about 5 minutes).
• 2. In a mixing bowl, combine Masa Harina with 1 quart water. Stir until all lumps dissolve. Add Masa Harina "rue" to sautéed onions, bring to a boil. Once mixture starts to bubble, continue cooking 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This will eliminate any raw taste from Masa Harina.
• 3. Add tomatoes and remaining 3 quarts water to pot. Let mixture return to boil stirring occasionally.
• 4. Add American cheese (or Velveeta) to soup. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese melts.
