What’s on your “Recipes We Like” List?
Do the tortilla strips get added to crockpot also and also as a garnish?

Hi Jackie! The tortilla strips are added to the crockpot. You can of course use some as a garnish as well! Enjoy!!!
Does your Chili’s restaurant have corn in the soup? Ours doesn’t. Or is this just a personal add in? I’m asking because I am wondering if in different areas of the country do the soups differ or do they all have same recipe? Your soup looks wonderful and is in my list of things to try.

Hey Sherri! Thanks for your comment. To be honest it’s been so long since I’ve ordered their soup, because I love my recipe, that I’m not even totally sure. Also, I’ve lived in Utah, Connecticut and Illinois… perhaps I should have tried it all those places to see if it was the same. There’s a chance I added the corn myself, because I just love corn!
We love this chili when we go to Chilis and I am glad to get this recipe, I pinned it! Hope you have a great weekend and thanks so much for sharing your post with us at Full Plate Thursday!
