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.

      Eye irritation 2.5 months into gluten free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @aperlo34, Those symptoms sound awfully familiar to me.  Here's what I did for mine... I got my Vitamin D up quickly by taking Vitamin D3 supplements several times throughout the day.  High dose Vitamin D supplementation is safe and effective in raising deficient Vitamin D levels.  Aim to get your level up around 80.  Our bodies work better with Vitamin D at this level.  Vitamin D will help with mood, achy joints and depression.  Vitamin A and Vitamin D will help heal eyes and intestines. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39125420/ I was prescribed anti anxiety meds, SSRIs.  They were a bad idea because SSRIs cause further intestinal damage.  I had such awful side effects, I had to quit taking them.     Instead, I took Tryptophan supplements.  Tryptophan is needed to make serotonin, the feel good neurotransmitter.  Without enough serotonin, we feel anxious.  Tryptophan is important for intestinal health and our intestinal bacteria.  We get tryptophan (and Niacin) from our diet.  Our body can make tryptophan from Niacin Vitamin B 3.  In celiac disease, we may not be absorbing sufficient amounts of Niacin and the other water soluble B vitamins.  I took my B Complex twice a day with meals.  I took a Tryptophan supplement at bedtime.  I found adding a Lysine supplement helpful in reducing anxiety.  Lysine is an amino acid found in lots of foods like meats.  Lysine helps with intestinal health and improves serotonin use in the body.  Serotonin, besides improving mood, also stimulates tear production!!!  Influence of Tryptophan and Serotonin on Mood and Cognition with a Possible Role of the Gut-Brain Axis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4728667/ And... Serotonin hormonally regulates lacrimal gland secretory function via the serotonin type 3a receptor https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5537296/ And... l-Lysine acts like a partial serotonin receptor 4 antagonist and inhibits serotonin-mediated intestinal pathologies and anxiety in rats https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC307574/ I also take Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamin Vitamin B 1, shown to promote healing in the gastrointestinal tract.  Supplementing with Benfotiamine improves anxiety and helps heal the intestines and improves brain function.  Benfotiamine needs magnesium to work properly, so I take Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium which gets into the brain easily and helps immensely with anxiety and thinking.  Niacin and thiamine with riboflavin and pyridoxine are used to make enzymes and energy for all healing we're going through. Magnesium and calcium can be pulled out of our bones to keep our blood levels stable.  Containing both of these minerals, broccoli and leafy greens, like kale and collards, are great for the Celiac diet. Hope this helps!   Happy Holidays!

      B-Complex B-12 1000mg (methyl sublingual) CoQ10 100mg D 3000iu  Centrum Men's Multivitamin Magnesium 400mg Omega 3 2000mg My latest labs were: D - 43.6 (range 30-100) B12 - 406 (range 232-1245) Folate - 11.4 (range >3.0) ferritin - 117 (30-400) magnesium - 2.3 (1.6-2.3) Calcium - 9.9 (8.7-10.2) My symptoms are currently - these all come and go except the dry eyes have been for a couple of months now: Joint aching (mostly knuckles), muscle twitches, now apparently dry eyes.  I'm considering looking into anxiety medication, the past 4 months have been horrible for me. I can't tell what is a real symptom anymore and what is just my mind.

      Yeah, I think that’s what’s going on. I’ve been following my eye dr’s recommended routine of eye drops and heating mask and today I feel much better. I’m also trying to cut out dairy for a month to see if maybe there’s something there. I would love for the eye problems to go away, it’s scaring me - the celiac felt like it was out of nowhere 😓   also on all sorts of supplements now…

      Celiac disease can be triggered by an infection or a traumatic physical or emotional stress.  Some people can have relatively mild or no gastrointestinal symptoms for years, but additional stresses can push one over the edge and more  or worsening symptoms appear.
