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!

I have not had that soup, but it sounds really good! I did a quick search and found this: Open Original Shared Link

Does that sound like what you had?

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.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
