This recipe may be halved. Masa Harina is a type of corn flour. It is found at most grocery stores in the flour section. From Copykat.com (http://www.copykat.com)

SERVES 16 -20 , 1 1/2 gallons (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup chicken base
3 cups diced yellow onions
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2-2 cup masa harina (Note — Depending on how you like your soup, 1/2 c makes a thinner soup while 2 c makes a thicker so)
4 quarts water (divided)
2 cups crushed tomatoes
1/2 lb processed American cheese, cut in small cubes
3 lbs cubed cooked chicken

In large pot, place oil, chicken base, onion and spices.

I Personally thought this was awesome regaurdless of how "chili's" tastes. I halved everything and added a little more of this or that depending on my own tastes, so people YOU can do that too. I did add 1 can of corn and 1 can of black beans and a small can of red enchilada sauce. Thanks QT!!

The recipe lists an incorrect amount of masa harina. I've found it on other websites using 2 cups masa harina. Following this recipe you end up with watery soup with a hint of enchilada flavor. Try the other copy cat recipe on this site, its spot on!

I followed the ingredients to a "t" and came out with a soupy mess. It calls for way too much water. It tastes NOTHING like the soup at our local Chili's resturant.
