Everyone loves eating at Applebee’s, Chili’s, McDonalds, T.G.I. Friday’s and Red Lobster.  Many have a desire to cook these famous foods at home.  When it comes to copycat recipes, some call it a hobby, some call it a science.  Whatever you call it, the truth is, thousands of home cooks are having fun and saving time by recreating their favorite restaurant dishes in their home kitchen.  Here is a great copycat recipe that tastes just like Panera Bread’s Broccoli Cheese Soup.  I serve mine in bread bowls just like at Panera.  If you are interested in more great copycat recipes, pick up a copy of America’s Most Wanted Recipes.
