As the warm summer days are coming to a close, and the wind is getting chillier, I feel like soup weather is coming! I don’t know about y’all, but the soups that are the best are the ones that have substance to them, with meat, veggies, and TONS of flavor!

This soup incorporates the vibrant and bold flavors present in an enchilada, while filling you up with warmth from head to toe from your first sip!

• 1 1/2 lb pork loin
• 1 taco seasoning packet

• 1 4-oz can green chiles
• 1 can enchilada sauce
