Applebee's Cheese Chicken Tortilla Soup Copycat Recipe

I don't know about you, but I love eating out at restaurants. The problem is that my budget doesn't always support it since even a simple meal out at a restaurant can cost an arm and a leg. The good news is that rather than having to miss out on your favorite meals because you are on a limited budget you can use a "copycat recipe" to make your favorite restaurant dishes at home.

These recipes are reverse engineered to make a dish that tastes just like that one you have at the restaurant. The difference is that instead of having to pay the huge price tag for a restaurant meal, you just pick up the ingredients at the grocery store and make it yourself for a fraction of the cost. Not only that, but by making it yourself you get leftovers, too, which is always a good thing!

As an example, here's a copycat recipe that I have for Applebee's Cheese Chicken Tortilla Soup.

2 tsp. minced fresh garlic

1 cup chopped yellow onion

2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

4 Cups chicken stock

1/4 cup green pepper, chopped

1 can tomato puree (15 oz.)

1 Tbsp. finely minced jalapeño pepper (optional)

1 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. hot sauce (optional)

1 tsp. chili powder (optional)

1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

4 Tbsp. flour

1/2 Cup water

1 lb. cooked chicken, cubed or pulled

1 Cup cream

1/4 Cup non-fat sour cream

8 oz. processed cheese, 1-inch cubes

10 (6-inch) colored or yellow corn tortillas, 1/4-inch strips, fried

Roughly chopped Fresh cilantro (optional)

Sauté oil, garlic and onions in large pan until soft. Add the vegetable oil, chicken stock, green pepper, tomato puree, jalapeño pepper, salt, pepper, sugar, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce. Bring to low boil, then reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. Cut tortillas into 1/4-inch strips and fry in oil or spray with oil and bake at 400ºF (while soup is cooking). Sprinkle with salt if desired. Thoroughly mix flour and water, then whisk into soup. Bring to a low boil, then simmer 5 minutes. Add chicken and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in sour cream and cheese (to taste). The soup should be served at 165ºF. After serving soup, pile tortilla strips into a "haystack" shape on top of the soup. Optional: garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Makes 6-8 servings

This recipe is delicious and is really great for cold winter nights since soup is always a warm, filling meal. One of the great things about this recipe is that it makes enough to feed an entire family and is pretty cheap to make. Even if you just have one or two people to feed the leftovers can be easily stored and feed you for a few days. It's a great way to get restaurant-style soup on an eat at home budget.

Chicken Tortilla Soup - Where to Get the Best Darn Soup When You're in That Mexican Soup Mood!

If you've got an insane hankering for some chicken tortilla soup, but don't know how to make it, then you're pretty much stuck having to go out and get it right?

Well not necessarily but more about that later.

First let's talk about where you CAN go out and get the best chicken tortilla soup.

Places That Have the Best

There's really nothing worse than wanting something so bad, like the way you might crave a soup, (especially one as good as tortilla soup) but not wanting to waste a trip going to a restaurant where they just don't do it right. Don't you hate that.

Where do you go when you want something that is so...well...so specific I guess you can say. I mean you really just can't head out to the diner on the corner and expect to get some good chicken tortilla soup. They're just not going to do it. I mean most diner's can't even mix up a good French Onion Soup for heaven's sake. My wife once went to a diner and the French Onion Soup was basically chicken broth with some onions and soggy bread. Not even an attempt to make it look brown.

That was horrible, and you know that went right back. So you know that if a diner can't even muster up something that simple, then they're likely not going to pull off something like this soup recipe. Of course I'm sure there are some diners who knock it out of the park with the tortilla soup, but for the most part you're going to have to go somewhere else other than a diner.

Types of Restaurants to Go for Tortilla Soup

Now you may not believe it but actually the best place to go for this sort of soup is to one of the chain restaurants. Here's why. Usually the way these restaurants make something like a soup, or any food for that matter is tested, and improved, and tested some more until it gets rave reviews by customers of their restaurants.

So you can almost be sure that if you're going to a restaurant like Houlihan's, or Friday's, or On the Border then you're going to get some really good chicken tortilla soup.

Now the one's above I've mention are all good. Actually I don't know about Friday's...in fact I don't know if they even have it, but I do know that On the Border has some tremendous tortilla soup. Houlihan's I recently had and it was OK. Not great, but I would get it again. The chunks of chicken in theirs was actually the best part.

My Very Favorite Chicken Tortilla Soup with a Different Name!

For the most part this soup is simply chicken broth, Mexican seasoning, onions, corn, and tomatoes (salsa)...with some sort of tortilla chips and shredded cheese on top. But though so simple, finding a restaurant who gets it right seems to be a challenge for me.

But one of the best that I've ever tasted was from Chili's. Wow, the head chef's there at Chili's, wherever they are, got this one right. Oh in case you go there looking for it though, it's actually called Chicken Enchilada Soup. Little play on Mexican terms I suppose, or maybe that's why it's so much better, maybe there's some enchilada sauce mixed in there somewhere.

Either way, hands down they've got the best chicken tortilla soup that I've tasted and I've looked high and low.

An Even Better Way to the Best Foods from the Best Restaurants...

But here's the thing. I've been eating at restaurant after restaurant to find the best chicken tortilla soup and yes Chili's is the best. But who wants to get in the car and drive down to Chili's or any restaurant for that matter every you want to eat some darn soup. Not me!

That's not counting the expenses. You can make your own pot of the stuff for the same price as you pay for one bowl. So that's why I searched high and low looking for Chili's Chicken Tortilla Soup (or Chicken Enchilada Soup rather) and finally found a source that gave the recipe so perfect that it's nearly exactly like eating there.

I've made this recipe and several other secret recipe's from their amazing compilation and they've all been spot on.

How to Make Simple But Tasty Diabetic Meals: Chicken, Peach, Walnut Salad or Chicken Tortilla Soup

Remember there is basically no nutritional value in iceberg lettuce so it is best not to use it as a substitute for the mixed spring greens.  Walnuts are very healthy nuts but if you just don't like them, you could substitute pecans or slivered almonds.  If you prefer soup over salad or want to have a soup and salad luncheon, here is a Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

For years, I tried to duplicate the creamy enchilada soup from Chili's Bar & Grill. If you've ever had it, you'd know why. Finally, I was able to not only copy it, but make it even better!

You'll Need:

1 diced yellow onion
1 diced red pepper
4-5 cooked, diced chicken breasts
3 cans chicken broth
3 cups heavy cream
1 can (8 oz.) diced tomatoes
1- Chili Seasoning packet
1- Taco Seasoning Packet
1- (glass jar, from produce dept) Roasted Garlic bits
1- pkg. Soft Corn shells (for frying and putting on top)
Velveeta Cheese (about 1/4 of the large log)
1/2 stick butter

First, cook and dice your chicken. Even boneless breasts should be cooked at least 45 minutes at 350'.

Then chop your onion and pepper, and saute in 4 TBSP. butter. Add the diced chicken, keep sauteing on low heat. Add about 3 TBSP. roasted garlic bits. Add your chicken broth, then whisk in both packets of seasonings. Now add diced tomatoes, and finally, your heavy cream. Simmer, add Velveeta.

Keep stirring and simmering. Get a frying pan hot and add butter or cooking oil to the pan. Have paper towels ready. Use a pizza cutter to cut the soft corn shells into thin strips. When the oil is hot, throw the strips in, cook on each side for about 45 seconds. You'll be able to tell when they're done.

Serve the soup with strips on top, and some grated cheese and sour cream. Don't forget the margaritas!

Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe That's Really Incredible

My sister gave me this recipe for chicken tortilla soup with shredded after she served it at a special party at their house.

Ingredients of chicken tortilla soup recipe:

8 tablespoons Canola oil

5 10" to 12" corn tortillas

1 onion

6 garlic cloves

1 small bunch of cilantro

2 - 14.5 oz. cans of diced tomatoes

8 cups chicken stock

14 ounces of canned or frozen corn

3/4 - 1 1/2 Tablespoons ground cumin

1/2 - 1 Tablespoon chili powder

4 bay leaves

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves or try thighs

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Juice from 1 lime

Preparation of chicken tortilla soup recipe:

Dice the onion and mince the garlic.

Wash and towel try the cilantro, remove stems and chop.

Open your cans of tomatoes and have them at the ready. You don't have to measure out all the spices unless you like the way they have it all ready on the cooking shows.

Rinse the chicken under cold water and dry.

Methods of chicken tortilla soup recipe:

Make this all in one large soup pot or fry the tortilla strips in one and make the soup in another. I like to clean as few pots as possible especially when I'm working one handed. Cut up 2 of the tortillas into 1/4 inch strips and fry them in 3 tablespoons of Canola oil. You want them to be a golden brown but be careful not to burn them, they cook quickly. Depending on the size of your pot, you may have to cook several at time.

Remove the strips from pot and transfer to some paper towels to drain. Season with a little salt.

Heat the remaining oil over medium high heat and sauté the onions for a couple of minutes.

Add garlic and sauté for another minute or two. Tear the remaining 3 corn tortillas into bite size pieces and add to the pot.

Add the cilantro, stir, and cook for a minute more. Add the canned tomatoes with their juice and the chicken stock, cumin, chili powder, and bay leaves and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer, add the corn, whole chicken breasts, and cayenne. Simmer the chicken breasts for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked throughout.

Remove the chicken breasts and put aside to cool. Turn off the soup at this point. Once the chicken breasts are cool, shred them with your hands and return to the pot.

Add your lime juice and taste for spiciness. If you like it hotter, add more of the spices. Reheat, and serve with the fried tortilla strips.

My sister usually serves this chicken tortilla soup with the fried tortillas, freshly diced avocado, grated cheddar cheese, and sour cream. The sour cream really helped mellow out some of the spices and gave the soup a wonderful creamy appearance. This soup is a meal.
