I went to Chilis .. I loved the soup.. but thought it was overpriced.. I found the recipe and made it myself

My wife invited me to Chilis the other day for dinner. .. First of all, I HATE French Fries, so, generally, Chilis is NOT on the radar..
However, after much resistance on my part, we went.
After perusing the menu and seeing only 1000+ Calorie Burgers and stuff that is NOT on my diet.. I saw that they had a variety of soups.. Anyway, I tried their Chicken and Green Chile soup.. Long story short.. GREAT soup.. small portion.. Overpriced.
So....
I went out on the web and found a copycat recipe and tried it.. It was delicious..
