Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Cook the onions until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and cumin and cook for a minute more.
Add the masa harina and cook for one more minute. Add one cup of the chicken stock and stir well. Stir in the remaining chicken stock.
Put the shredded chicken, tomatoes, black beans, enchilada sauce, green chiles, corn, and salt and pepper in a pot. Cook the soup for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Add in the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese a handful at a time, stirring until melted before mixing in more.
Serve immediately with the toppings of your choice.
Notes
Rotisserie chicken is a good choice. Not only is it quick and easy, but it makes this recipe so fast and easy.
If possible, make sure you have all the ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking, as this soup cooks quickly.
Toppings really “make” this soup. I recommend having at least three options and more if you can it’s always better to have more options!
