(WSYM) - Hey there, Mid-Michigan! It's your Jackson Neighborhood Reporter, Olivia Pageau, coming to you from the kitchen of neighbor, Rick Bellers. Rick's house is the place to be when the Lions play, so I stopped by to find out how to make his signature tortilla soup. He says that it's always a hit on game day, and pairs even better with a Lions win. Like the Lions, this soup has a bit of a kick to it. However, it's a recipe that can't be beat. It's so good, that we're adding it to the menu, alongside other FOX 47 Playoff Tailgate recipes that you can find on our website.
