Community member, MaryPat, has developed and loaned me a few of her photos of her food creations. This time she’s created a Turkey Cilantro Enchilada Soup perfect for the 17 Day Diet.
If you haven’t checked out her other healthy soup recipe, MaryPat’s Creamy Apple Carrot and Cauliflower Soup , give it a shot.
MaryPat’s family is no stranger to growing and making their own foods, including homemade salsa.
So when she came up with this recipe for a hearty and healthy soup, I wasn’t surprised one bit!
This enchilada soup creation from MaryPat is right up there with other soups such as Slow Cooker Mexican Cilantro Soup I feature on the blog.
When you decide to make this soup, if you can’t find Frontera Green Chili Enchilada Sauce with Roasted Tomatillo & Garlic mentioned in the recipe, feel free to use your favorite brand or flavor.
There really is no right or wrong way to make this soup. The sky’s the limit!
Without further ado, here’s a recipe straight out of the kitchen of MaryPat C.
This soup is approved for all cycles of the 17 Day Diet. Enjoy!

Hi I’m super excited to try to soup. I was wondering how many servings is it? So I can make sure I portion correctly. Thanks:)
Hi Karen! I actually just responded to your email! :) At any rate, I noticed when I took a look at this particular recipe, that the serving size was missing! I’ve updated it, and to answer your question, the recipe makes 6 servings!
