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.

      Issues before diagnosis

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms. I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should...

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
