COPYCAT APPLEBEE'S CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



Copycat Applebee's Chicken Tortilla Soup image

There's something about Applebee's Chicken Tortilla Soup that's totally irresistible. We aren't sure if it's the generous chunks of chicken, oodles of peppers and other veggies, or the tantalizing crunch of homemade tortilla strips. Maybe it's all of these things! No matter what your favorite part of this soup recipe is, we're sure that you'll enjoy being able to make it in the comfort of your own kitchen. Going out to dinner is fun, but there's nothing more relaxing then coming home, kicking off your shoes, and staying in for the night while you cook an easy dinner. This meal is healthy enough for a weeknight, but it's indulgent enough for a weekend treat. Store any leftovers separate from the tortilla chips so that they do not get soggy. However, we'll be surprised if there are leftovers!

CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup image

I perfected this recipe by "tweaking" to figure out a copycat recipe of Max and Erma's Chicken Tortilla Soup. It tastes so similar, and even if you haven't heard of Max and Erma's (it's a chain but only in certain areas), well, it's so yummy I just had to share it with the world. I usually throw everything into a slow cooker (my go-to method of making soups), but I'm sure it could be cooked stove top as well. I also like trying different add-ins (such as black beans, pepper slices), but those aren't in the original. Enjoy!!!

CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup image

This is Ali's all-time favorite soup, and it's delicious! This was the first dish she cooked for date night. Tortilla soup is fortified with spices and herbs. It is also thickened with tortillas, which is a great technique to know. Techniques for soup thickening vary from roux, to rice, to this technique of using tortillas. Still other soups are thickened with bread or potato, but the tortillas give it a full mouthfeel. It's a great cooking lesson that yields a delicious dish.
