Directions
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium-high heat and sauté onion until softened and translucent. 6-8 minutes. Season with chili powder and cumin.

Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, then mix in cornmeal.
Cook for 1 minute, then stir in 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, mixing so that cornmeal paste is incorporated.

Pour in remaining chicken broth, then add chicken, beans, tomatoes, corn, chiles and enchilada sauce.

Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.

Ladle mixture into bowls and garnish with cheese, sour cream, tortilla strips and/or chives.
Serve hot and enjoy!
Serves 6-8
