Kitchen Soup and Salad

The soup and salad bar is calling your name. A great way to choose veggie filled meals – why not share the plan with your pals?


Recipes for this party plan can be found in At Home Entertaining beginning on page 230 including: Beet, Apple and Goat Cheese Salad with Orange-Shallot Vinaigrette, Harvest Vegetable Soup and Corn Dumplings, Down Home on the Ranch Salad, Southwestern Style Chicken Soup, and Cocoa Angel Cake with Raspberry Sauce



I do believe soups get better the day after you prepare them – which works out well for our entertaining schedule! Prepare the soups for this party a day or two in advance, cover and refrigerate. Warm over medium heat before the guests arrive. Chop and package all of the veggies for the salad the night before so that all you have left to do is the arranging and tossing. Prepare the cake in the morning and the sauce in the afternoon. See how quickly it’s “party time!”


There are two hearty soups and two very veggie salads in this menu plan whish is a great way to entertain 8 or more guests – lots to choose from and a bunch leftover for you! However, if you are serving a smaller crowd, simply choose to prepare 1 soup and 1 salad of your choice. But, don’t leave out the cake – it’s oh so good! (You'll find grocery shopping lists at the top right hand side of the page)


If you are a soup and salad lover take a look at Swiss Cheese Soup , Caramelized Onion Soup , and Spinach, Apple and Pecan Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette. for more great party fare.
