I have never thought to place popcorn on top of a soup. but why not.? It would taste just as good as croutons, if not better.
That would be pretty tasty. I’ve used popcorn on tomato soup, but it would be great like this on chili.
I think I would like these spices on popcorn. But I think I would eat it as a snack. I have to have my cornbread with my chili!
YUMMY, I like this popcorn recipe. Will be good to snack on tonight during the Oscars.
What a great idea. I would love to have these as a snack and a topper. Thank you for the idea.
I am going to try this it looks really good
I’m not sure I’d use it on the chili. I am sure that I would eat it all up.
I like the popcorn recipe but don’t think I would put it on chili. Looks like it would make a tasty snack all on its own.
I have never heard of this recipe and now I would like to try it. Sounds super good and perfect for this time of year thanks for sharing and hope you have a nice rest of your weekend.
