Enchilada Soup

One day Stacy decided that she wanted some soup, Mexican soup. She didn't want to make one of our other recipes, and being the "Queen of Leftovers" she was able to put together several things we had in the house into a nice broth. Then she wondered what would happen if she added a can of enchilada sauce. Taste it and you'll see what happened. The fact that it is here on the blog tells you all you need to know. --Mark

Ingredients:

olive oil
1 medium onion

Heat a small amount of oil in a pot and add the onions and garlic. Saute until soft. Add the green chilies and heat through.
