As leaves change colors and temps continue to drop (fingers crossed), you’ll want some yummy, local eats to keep you warm. Lucky for you, we’ve got just the thing. Keep reading for seven delicious soups at Birmingham restaurants to try.

1. Chicken and rice soup | El Barrio

I could talk about this chicken and rice soup—or anything at El Barrio—for hours. I tried it for the first time earlier this month and came back for more just two days later.

Pop in to try it for yourself; add a side of their cornbread and thank me later.

Psst, El Barrio also has their seasonal Pozole on the menu right now. If it’s anywhere near the deliciousness of the chicken and rice soup, you can count me in.

Brick & Tin’s mushroom soup has been raved about by our team, and rightfully so. It’s creamy, flavorful and just the thing to get you into the fall spirit.
