I love this soup from Chili's. This is the only thing that I will order when we go there. I found this recipe online years ago and have been making it ever since. I will say that I take some of the left over soup (if any is left) and will make either burritos or flour tortilla enchiladas and pour this over the top and bake. So Yummy good even on a not so cold night.
