My Southwestern Potato White Bean Chicken Soup is perfect when entertaining friends this Football Season. It’s simple and delicious, combining Chicken, Corn, Potatoes, Whites Beans, Tomatoes with Chiles, and topped with Avocado. Football Season is knocking at our front door. Week 1 starts in two short days…The Packers will VS The Seahawks) I am amped for The Football parties to get formed! 

This time of year has always been my favorite; it’s so beautiful, and there are so many things I enjoy doing outdoors. In Central Florida, I don’t get to see the season change like when I lived in Ohio. I miss that every Fall… To make up for missing the season change here in Florida, you will find I decorate like a crazy person buying all sorts of spectacular Fall decorations to make our home look more like Fall up North each year. You name it, and I use it to decorate pumpkins, gourds, fall leaves, scarecrows, hay bales, corn husks, the list goes on and on.

 

 

 

Fall is a magical time where everything becomes more beautiful before dying off in the cold hard, bitter winter. Everything becomes more visual and vibrant, mother nature’s gift to all of us before she places everything in sleep mode. It’s the perfect time of year to enjoy warm soups and adorable clothing that has been hiding away in your closet. Most of all, it’s the ideal time to try my recipe for Southwestern Potato White Bean and Chicken Soup and impress your friends and family this game day!
