We love hosting Fall get togethers and serving this soup is a favorite. You can set up a soup station on your kitchen island with all the garnishes – fresh cilantro, lime wedges, crushed tortilla chips and radishes. Another favorite to make a big pan of nachos to serve with the soup. Pile tortilla chips, Tyson® Refrigerated Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Strips, cheese, beans, chili peppers on a large jelly roll pan. Pop in the oven and then let guests add garnishes, sour cream and avocado when done. This is the perfect Fall party meal! Your guests will love it! Guests can mix all of the garnishes and toppings for the soup and the nachos. Now how fun is that?!

Hosting a party and serving this soup and nachos is so simple. I grab all of the ingredients at the Kroger right down the street. So simple. Just get ready for all of the Fall parties at my house with this soup and nachos!
