Creamy Dairy Free Enchilada Soup

October 21, 2019 by predominantlypaleo 17 Comments

 

When I tell you there is no dairy in this Creamy Dairy Free Enchilada Soup, you’ll likely call me a liar. I can live with that. 

Creamy Dairy Free Enchilada Soup

So here we are: 10 days until Halloween, 2 months into the school year, and 5 months into our Florida living. I have to say daily sunshine is not awful. And as much as I love 4 seasons, the one that stays grey and cold with snow and depression is just not my favorite. 

Creamy Dairy Free Enchilada Soup

I realized over the past couple years that I really do suffer from some pretty major blues once the holidays are over and winter seems to never end. I love those initial snows and hot chocolate ugg weather but gawd help me when it’s still March and the sun hasn’t come out.

I feel like I mention the weather a lot, like I’m 97, but don’t worry I won’t start talking about my poop habits. JK I might but not in recipe posts. But the weather, I’ve discovered, really plays a more significant role in my mental health than I ever credited. And after living in Illinois twice and Germany once, there’s no denying it… I do better where there is sun. 

Creamy Dairy Free Enchilada Soup

All that to say, it feels a little funny writing a soup recipe when I am still in flip flops and tank tops, but nothing is gonna hold me back from my love of soups. And please do not recommend chilled soups to me, because I cannot. And will not. 

Oh and guess what else is fun about this new soup recipe?! I made it on the stovetop. Now, you can totes make it in the IP (toss all ingredients in, cook on high for 12 minutes, add in the dairy free stuff, garnish and serve) but if you don’t have an Instant Pot or feel like it’s a stovetop kinda night, I gotchu. So exciting isn’t it??

      Yes, just toss in everything but the dairy free sour cream and then cook on high for 12 minutes. Add sour cream afterwards.

    Is there a good dairy free sour cream you recommend? Tried one brand and was disgusting……

    I feel like there ought to be some chopped onion in the recipe – is that what I’m seeing in the soup pic? Mayhaps, it is just a garnish? I can’t imagine making soup without onion, but this is a brave new world….

      I didn’t have any onion on hand, hence the minced dried onion in the recipe. Please add fresh onion if you prefer!

      (The diced on top was added after a quick run to the store after the soup was made)

    Can you please tell me how many people this recipe will serve? I could not see a serving number listed, but maybe I missed it somewhere? Thank you!

      I’d say around 4 adults. Double if you have hearty eaters or extra heads at your table!

    Do you think you could use coconut milk?

    Could you freeze this after making and just reheat?

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
