Episode 83: The Ultimate Guide to Soup, Fall’s Coziest Food (with Bri McKoy)

On a chilly fall evening, is there anything cozier than a warm, creamy bowl of soup? (Nope!) To welcome the coziest season of the year, we’re delighted to talk with foodie content creator and the Queen of Soup, Bri McKoy! 👩‍🍳 Today Bri dishes on the Instant Pot Lemon Chicken & Potato Soup that’s become one of Emily’s go-to’s, her pumpkin chili that’s perfect for Game Day or a Tuesday night, her pizza soup (!?), and so many more. Bri also shares her genius tip for shredding chicken in a snap (seriously, you won’t believe how easy it is), the soup that’s always a winner for potlucks and meal trains, and even how to keep your fridge and pantry stocked for a quick but delicious meal in a pinch. Grab a spoon—soup’s on, y’all!

A Blessing for Your Week

When you’re in need of some warmth, I hope you find it in the people around the table.

When you’re in need of some comfort, I hope you have a safe and cozy place where you can let your hair down and be seen.

And above all, may you have everything you need to get you through this season — including a piping hot bowl of delicious soup on a chilly evening.

Simplicity Tip of the Week

You guys—if you took anything away from today’s episode with Bri, I hope you try that “shredding your chicken with a mixer” thing, because it absolutely works. If you want an easy way to get some meal prep done this week, try picking up a rotisserie chicken, tearing the meat off the bone, tossing it into the bowl and turning on your mixer. And voilà! You’ll have chicken on hand for soups, salads, sandwiches or whatever else your heart desires. Talk about easy.
