CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP - MAX AND ERMA'S COPYCAT RECIPE ...



Chicken Tortilla Soup - Max and Erma's Copycat Recipe ... image

This is an excellent copy cat recipe of the soup that is served at Max and Erma's restaurant food chain. This is my Dh's favorite soup. The cilantro is optional I make it without it. This recipe makes a lot and is wonderful as leftovers. Next time I'm going to half the recipe as it's only the two of us.

Total Time 2 hours 8 minutes

Prep Time 8 minutes

Cook Time 2 hours

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (15 ounce) cans cream of mushroom soup
2 (15 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup
2 (15 ounce) cans cream of celery soup
2 (15 ounce) cans chicken broth
2 (15 ounce) cans cheddar cheese soup
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
4 1/2 ounces green chilies
1 cup salsa
1 medium onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder (to taste)
salt and pepper
4 chicken breasts
8 ounces tortillas
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large pot mix all soups until they appear to be somewhat smooth and well mixed.
  • Then add the remainder of the ingredients to the salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a full boil and reducing heat to simmer for 1 hour stirring occasionally.
  • While the soup is simmering cut the four chicken breasts in to small chunks. Cook them in a separate pan. Once the soup has simmered for an hour add the pieces of the cooked chicken to the soup. Let the soup remain on simmer for another hour. (This is a good time to see if you need to add more chili powder). Continue to stir the soup making sure nothing sits at that bottom of the pan for a long period of time.
  • While the soup cooks the last hour, cut however many tortillas you want into thin slices. Take about 1/3 of them and throw them into the soup and allow them to cook with the soup. The remaining you can lightly fry in the oil until they are golden to place on top of the soup when it's done.
  • Enjoy.

MAX AND ERMA'S TORTILLA SOUP - TOP SECRET RECIPES



Max and Erma's Tortilla Soup - Top Secret Recipes image

After years of fielding requests to clone the delicious signature soup from this 100-unit chain, I was finally able to secure a couple carry-out samples from Max & Erma's at the Cleveland airport while I was there on a biz trip. Wrapped in a bundle of napkins and tucked into a carry-on bag, my samples arrived home in Vegas still warm and ready for analysis. For this one you'll need some white and dark fillets of chicken and a half pound hunk of cheese to shred. It's all that Cheddar cheese that makes this tortilla soup so good. And you'll definitely want to shred your own, since the pre-shredded stuff—while also more expensive—just doesn't melt as well in the chicken broth as cheese that's been shredded just before it goes into the pot.  Update 2/8/17: This recipe may work better if you first make a sauce with the cheese before adding it to the soup. After step #2, combine 2 tablespoons of butter with 2 tablespoons of flour in a medium saucepan. Whisk in 1 cup of milk until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove it from the heat and stir in the cheese until it's melted. Keep the cheese sauce warm over low heat until you need it. Reduce the cornstarch to 1 tablespoon and dissolve it into the chicken broth in a large saucepan. Add the chicken, sauteed vegetables, and remaining ingredients for the soup (except the cheese sauce) and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in the cheese sauce and simmer the soup for another 10 minutes while you bounce to step #4. Find more of your favorite famous soup recipes here.
