Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe



I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time.
It was really good!
"Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.
Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited!
However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe.
It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you!
If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!
But because these are simple ingredients, you'll be able to throw it together in a moments notice!

  2. This Neiman Marcus chicken tortilla soup looks so rich and delicious! I love the idea of elevated flavors in a cozy bowl. Makes me curious how it compares to McAlister's menu prices for a similar soup too!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country.

In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
