Unique culinary stations continue to be a popular trend for wedding receptions. Now that we are enjoying a cool early winter season, we love seeing a variety of warm, appetizing soups being served. Soup stations are suitable for either a cocktail or dinner reception. If used during a cocktail hour reception, we suggest tall shot glasses, demitasse cups, mini crocks, mini bread bowls,or Chinese soup spoons as serving vessels. A variety of toppings and condiments can be made available for guests to enjoy with the soup such as a flavorful cheese shavings, peppers, spiced croutons, bacon crumbles, herbs, hot sauces, and creams.
Some great flavors appropriate for the season include:
Creamed Red Pepper
Pumpkin Bisque with Maple Bacon
Butternut Squash
Hearty Chicken and Noodles
French Onion
Cream of Celery
Smoky Tomato
Butternut Ginger Soup in Demitasse Cup
Smoky Pumpkin with Maple Bacon
French Onion in Mini Boule
Spicy Tomato with Grill Cheese Crouton
A soup station is also a great addition to the wedding menu for weddings during the summer months where a chilled soup such as strawberry and cream can serve as a delightful dessert alternative. Other summer soups we recommend include gazpacho, chilled avocado, cucumber with spicy crab, and melon.
