Hostess Tips and Decoration Ideas:

  • Making several soups at the same time can be kind of tricky so choose a couple of simple ones such as a stew cooked in a crock pot or one that can simmer for a while without much attention. 
  • Have plenty of bowls or cups since guests will most likely want to try more than one. 
  • Also, provide plenty of extras and soup garnishes like an assortment of crackers and crusty breads, and toppings like shredded cheese, chives, and appropriate spices.  To provide a little more variety, pick up some medium-sized rolls that can be used as bread bowls. 
  • Build a cozy fire for your guests to eat their soup by. 
  • Also, this is a great time to pull out one of your heavier dessert recipes.  A lot of people consider a soup main course to be on the lighter side so further satisfy their appetites with desserts such as cheesecake, fudge, pies, or cheesecake brownies.
