If you’re short on ideas for an appetizer, you might want to consider making a soup at home. It’s light, it warms the body, and the right ones are absolutely delicious. I have a whole cabinet full of recipes and I’d like to share some ideas with you.
When people think of soup, they often think of the simple types. Chicken noodle, tomato soup, vegetable soup, and split pea may come to mind. There are many more though. Let’s run through a few great soup ideas that may appeal to you.
1. Apple and roasted butternut squash soup. This is a great one, as you’ve probably already had and enjoyed a nice butternut squash soup. However, the apples add some kick to this, and the two go really well together.
2. Broccoli soup with cheddar cheese croutons. You’ve probably had the broccoli and cheddar combo on its own, but the cheese flavored crouton here is a game changer.
Here’s another idea. Potato soup, but with a golden browned potato nugget. This gives it a great crispness. The seasoning is key here, and the choice of seasoning is really yours. There are many great ways to make this soup, as I’m sure you’ll discover for yourself.
Appropriate for the time of year, why not try doing something with pumpkin? The natural spices of the pumpkin are absolutely great when hot. You can go with a creamed soup, a bisque, a gazpacho, and other original twists.
The final soup on my list is a cabbage soup with carrots, potatoes, celery, and crumbled blue cheese. This is my number one soup, and it wins me the most praise every time it’s served.
Well, I hope I’ve inspired you in one way or another. Most importantly, have some fun and always test the limits.
