Chicken Enchilada Soup

There is a soup store not far from my home that makes an amazing Chicken Enchilada soup. This is not like the usual chicken tortilla soups I have seen. This is a thick, creamy soup. The ingredients are listed on the soup I buy from this particular store, and they include water, chicken, cream, milk, butter, corn flour, black beans, corn, cheddar, seasonings. I have always wanted to make this soup at home, so I decided to try to replicate the soup by using this recipe as a guideline. I did not measure everything exactly. I used butter, chicken that I cooked in the crockpot with taco seasoning & then shredded it, half n half, all purpose flour, corn flour, onions, garlic, black beans, Rotel, cheddar cheese, cumin, oregano, and dashes of coriander, pepper, green Tabasco, chili powder and smoked paprika. The result was very good and close to the soup I buy, but it was missing something and I don't know what. Maybe I should have added taco seasoning straight to the soup. I want to try this again sometime and hopefully eventually I can figure out what is missing from the soup. Overall it was good.

*Corn flour was hard for me to find. I ended up using this Masarepa which I am not sure if it is exactly the right thing but I think it worked.

Maybe instead of taco seasoning try enchilada seasoning, and sometimes those soups have just a little bit of lime or lemon zest or juice.
