We’re having a drop-in gathering with a soup bar, and I want to have 3 soups with toppings and assorted breads. What are three good options - 1 veg, 1 meat, and at least 1 creamy. (Alternately could it be 3 veggie soups?)
I realize there’s the great soup thread on here but I’ specifically asking for a combination of 3 where everyone can find something they like). |
| Toppings for soup? Like cheese for chili? Can't think of other toppings.. |
| Why not just do chili as one that needs toppings. Otherwise many soups don’t need toppings added after the fact. |
|
Minestrone
Chicken Noodle or Tortellini Butternut squash (made with coconut milk) |
This is a nice combo. Oyster crackers and savory granola for toppings. |
|
Chili is good because some people (like my dh) don't feel like regular soup fills them up, but chili does.

Chili
Chicken and wild rice Broccoli cheddar |
| A drop in gathering where people will have to stand around balancing a bowl of soup? That certainly is an interesting choice. I think a soup bar sounds fun for a family event where you’re sitting down but to drop in and mingle and gather with soup seems awkward and can you imagine all the slurping lol? |

I mean, you can call it a “bar,” but it’s just soup and bread, and that’s OK. But people need a table and a place to eat soup. It’s not a stand and chat kind of food.
Chili (so you can actually have toppings) Minestrone or some type of light vegetable soup Broccoli cheddar or another creamy soup, maybe a creamy chicken tortellini soup? |

beef stew/french onion soup
tomato basil baked potato |
|
Chili
Cream of potato chicken noodle |
This is gods though I’d probably skip soup at an open house. Too messy. |

| Mashed potato bar is easier... |
