Ninja Foodi Chicken Enchilada Soup

The weather is definitely feeling more fall-like, cooler temperatures, leaves turning colors, and that autumn breeze.  When the weather changes I like to start adding soups into our meal rotation. Making your own soup allows you the freedom to leave out things your family doesn't like and also gives you amazing leftovers! Whenever I make a batch of soup we usually have enough to freeze for another meal and for everyone to have lunch the next day. Tonight, we are making Chicken Enchilada Soup in ...
