It’s Fall and that means it is OFFICIALLY soup season. We eat soup year ’round but lots more in the cooler weather. Soup & Mexican food are two of my family’s favorite foods so this Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup was an instant winner! You can make it even faster if you use a store bought rotisserie chicken.

Welcome to Freaky Friday: Summer 2022! This group is the brainchild of my friend, Michaela’s and it is SO MUCH FUN! For those of you that aren’t familiar with Freaky Friday, it is a group of food bloggers that get assigned a secret blog and we get to choose any recipe we want to make from it for our own blogs. Then all of the recipes are revealed at the exact same time and we get to see who had our page and which recipe they selected! It has been a great way for me and my readers to find new blogs to follow, and I feel honored to be a part of it!

I was assigned the blog Feast + West by Susannah Brinkley Henry. She is a cocktail blogger and graphic designer based in Charlotte, North Carolina. If you love cocktails, her blog is the place to be!!! After graduating from college, she attended bartending school and transformed everything she learned into Feast + West to help others discover their inner cocktail creative.
Other than cocktails she also has all kinds of recipes, from breakfast, appetizers, bar food, entrees and sweet treats.
Some of her SUPER POPULAR MUST TRY recipes are:
The honey lemon whiskey sour, South African milk tart, Elderflower French 75, Alcohol Soaked Gummy Bears, Jalapeno-Infused Tequila and The Cheddar Cheese Popcorn
The recipe of hers I chose to make this week was her Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup. It was definitely a 10/10 and came together so fast. It also uses ingredients that I ALWAYS have on hand. This soup will definitely be a regular in our dinner rotation.
