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.
You've probably had soups with croutons in them, but this variety is my favorite when it comes soups featuring croutons. Broccoli soup with a cheese flavored crouton is absolutely great. Whether it's cheddar, swiss, or any other variety, you'll want to go with whatever suits your personal tastes.
3. Potato nugget soup. You can prepare the potato any way you want, but I would suggest baking it to keep it healthy. Boiling the potato is another way to go, as it'll naturally boil while being cooked with the soup anyway.
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.
There's a good chance that one of the above soups may appeal to you. If I haven't done my job, keep on thinking and I'm sure that any one of these ideas could ultimately lead to something else.
