Looking 4 receipe 4 "Lonestar Steakhouse" tortilla soup?

Answer 1

Unfortunately lonestar gets their soup right out of a bag. I work at a steakhouse and we make our own soup, this is the recipe that we use. Good Luck! : )


Tortilla Avocado Soup

10 cups strong flavored chicken broth
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon adobo seasoning (traditional Mexican spice blend of garlic, onion, pepper, oregano, cumin and cayenne available from)
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies ( We use Rotel brand)
1 1/2 cups sliced carrots
1 cup chopped celery
3 cups diced, cooked chicken breasts
1/2 cup white rice
12 corn tortillas, cut into 1" strips
3 cups grated mozzarella cheese
3 avocados, peeled and sliced at the last minute

1 hour 30 minutes 30 mins prep
Mix broth, garlic, onion, chili powder, adobo seasoning and can of diced tomatoes and chiles in large soup pot.
Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes for flavors to blend.
Add carrots, celery, chicken and rice and cook 30 minutes more, or until rice is tender.
In individual heat-proof bowls, place two tortillas cut into strips.
Ladle soup over the tortillas and sprinkle with 1/2 cup cheese.
Place under broiler until cheese melts.

Answer 2

Not sure how it stacks up against Lonestar's version, but this is an excelent recepie from Joan Lunden:

In a large saucepan, saute:

1 chopped medium onion (about 1 cup) and
2 minced garlic cloves (about 2 tsps) in
2 tbsps vegetable oil

over low heat for 5 minutes until onion is softened.

Add one 4 ounce can green chiles -- chopped,
a 15-ounce can italian-style stewed tomatoes (chopped and with their own juice),
4 cups chicken broth,
1 tsp lemon pepper,
2 tsps worcestershire sauce,
1 tsp chili powder,
1 tsp ground cumin and
1/2 tsp hot sauce.

Simmer for 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp flour with 1/2 cup water and whisk into soup.

Bring the soup back to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Add 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes.

Simmer for 5 minutes.

Stir in 1/3 cup non-fat sour cream, salt, and pepper to taste.

You can also make your own tortilla chips for garnish, they are easy to make, low in fat and delicious.
Cut 4 store-bought corn tortillas into 1/4 inch strips. Lay them on a baking sheet with nonstick vegetable oil spray.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until they are lightly toasted and crispy.
Sprinkle lightly with salt if desired. Garnish strips across the top of the finished soup with fresh coriander
