 It's an item that you won't even find on the current menu at this
 national restaurant chain. But ask your server what soups are
 available and this is a selection that's available every day of the
 week. The dish is one of Chili's most raved-about items, and a recipe
 to clone the delicious soup is easily one of the most requested here
 on the Internet. Looks like it's time for an official TSR custom
 clone to answer those many requests. The secret here is the addition
 of masa harina--a corn flour that you will find in your supermarket
 near the other flours or in the Mexican food section. You'll find the
 recipe for the pico de gallo garnish in the Chili's Nacho Burger
 clone recipe from last November. Enjoy, amigos!

 Add 1 tb oil to a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken breasts to
 pot and brown for 4 to 5 minutes per side. Set chicken aside.

 Add onions and garlic to pot and saut over medium heat for about 2
 minutes, or until onions begin to become translucent. Add chicken
 broth.

 Combine masa harina with 2 cups of water in a medium bowl and whisk
 until blended. Add masa mixture to pot with onions, garlic, and broth.

 Add remaining water, enchilada sauce, cheese and spices to pot and
 bring mixture to a boil.

 Shred the chicken into small, bite-size pieces and add it to the pot.
 Reduce heat and simmer soup for 30 to 40 minutes or until thick.

 Serve soup in cups or bowls, and garnish with shredded cheddar cheese,
 crumbled corn tortilla chips, and pico de gallo.
