This enchilada soup recipe is super easy to make, is paleo, and also Whole30 compliant. It's made with yesterday's Instant Pot carnitas -- which makes having cheap/tougher cuts of meat doable in a short amount of time, and this recipe will feed a crowd!
it's still freezing in NYC and i had leftover carnitas from the other day, so turned that into a warming, filling soup inspired by enchiladas rojas.
