Maybe soup isn’t just food at all. Maybe it’s a story told in simmering broth, each ingredient a character adding its own line to the script. Chicken for comfort, rice for substance, corn for sweetness, and spices that know how to make an entrance. Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I’m calling it The Jeanie Jo & Joanna Project. Recipe 73 of 457 is Tortilla Soup—and here’s how it turned out. The broth carried a smoky warmth, the chicken stayed tender, and the toppings turned each bowl into a choose-your-own-adventure. It was vibrant without being fussy, hearty without being heavy. A weeknight soup that tastes like it belongs at a long table with friends. 384 recipes to go! Gracefully yours, 🫶🏻 Jeanie Jo LTKHome LTKSeasonal
