Chili's Chicken Enchilada Soup

1/2 cup Vegetable oil
1/4 cup Chicken base
3 cups diced Yellow Onions
2 teaspoons ground Cumin
2 teaspoons Chili Powder
2 teaspoons granulated Garlic
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
2 cups Masa Harina
4 quarts Water (divided)
2 cups crushed Tomatoes
1/2 pound processed American cheese, cut in small cubes
3 pounds cooked, cubed chicken

In large pot, place oil, chicken base, onion and spices.

Saute until onions are soft and clear, about 5 minutes

In another container, combine Masa Harina with 1 quart water. Stir until all lumps dissolve.

Add to sauteed onions, bring to boil. Once mixture starts to bubble, continue cooking 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This will eliminate any raw taste from Masa harina.

Add remaining 3 quarts water to pot. Add tomatoes; let mixture return to boil stirring occasionally. Add cheese to soup. Cook stirring occasionally, until cheese melts. Add chicken; heat through.
