Chili's Chicken And Green Chile Soup?

Hello!

Today we went to Chili's for lunch after two of my kids graduted (one from Pre-k, the other from 5th grade). First, I noticed that their allery menus must be updated monthly, which is great!!! I also noticed a new soup, Chicken and Green Chile Soup, and had to try it. I miss soup immensely...I used to eat soup for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack! What a delicious treat this soup was! It had a clear broth, big chunks of chicken, what seemed to be pico de gallo mixed in, with some chunks of avacado in the center of the bowl. Ahhhh, it was heavenly! :D So as soon as I got home, I went crazy trying to look up a copycat recipe. Sadly, I didn't find one. :( The only chicken and green chile soup recipes I found were cream-based, or with cheese, which the one from Chili's was not. Might anyone have tried this soup and have a recipe for it? Or maybe someone has a way to find it? I'm already going crazy craving it!!!

One other thing about Chili's - we have never had a problem when ordering gluten-free, and we have a favorite waitress who always makes sure she double-checks the allergy menu to make sure she puts the order in correctly. Today, my two children who are also Celiac sufferers were with us for the first time (they have been mad that we ate lunch there once a week without them hehehe), and our waitress again double-checked, but she was very busy and didn't remind them that we were gluten-free, even though she informed them as soon as she got our drinks and wrote it down when our order went in. My daughter's meal was fine, but I had garlic bread touching both my mounds of potatoes, and my son had gravy on his mashed potatoes. There was also a mix-up with my steak and my mother's steak as far as how we wanted it done (we later realized they must have given us the wrong sides, hence the bread on my plate) and my father's burger was missing bacon. Our waitress was VERY upset that they screwed up so badly and that we could have gotten sick, especially since she let the kitchen staff know and wrote it down. She and the manager went right to work fixing the issues, and were both very apologetic. The manager took the three meals that were totally wrong off the bill, and when he heard my husband tell the waitress that we'd be in for lunch next Tuesday for our anniversary (I'm conquering my fear of heights and trying to walk the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge - the highest pedestrian walkway in the world, then lunch, all with my husband and kids), offered us all free desert and promised to take very good care of us because of the mistakes. Totally unnecessary, but still, very nice! I can't say enough about that restaurant....not sure if all Chili's are as attentive about food allergies, but the one in Poughkeepsie, NY is amazing!

Thanks to anyone who can help!

That is almost exactly it!!!! The only difference was that the chicken was in very thin strips rather than shredded. I could not find this recipe anywhere I look! Thank you SO MUCH!!!! I'm going to make some tomorrow, just seeing the pics made my mouth water like crazy!

I would have thought the corn chips would be gluten free but our waitress checked with the cook and they said only what was on the menu is gluten free and that wasn't on the menu.

Did they check the ingredients on the package? Most corn chips are gluten-free, so maybe it was just accidently left off the menu.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
