Soup Lineup: Ultimate Food for a Crowd!

Soup Lineup: Ultimate Food for a Crowd!
My husband and I have young children. Most of our friends have young children. And when we get together socially, there are ... lots of young children. Most recently, when a group of us met for lunch, there were 15 little mouths to feed in addition to the six adults. (Okay, 4-month-old Catie doesn't really count; she doesn't eat any chili - yet.) The easiest, most relaxing way we've found to have a meal together is by creating a soup lineup. By this we mean a counter top lineup of slow cookers, each filled with a different soup, chili or stew. In between we stick some loaves of homemade bread, some butter, someone throws in a big salad or bowl of fruit, and voila - we've got a hot, hearty meal for everyone, with minimal dishes and not much cooking by any of us. This means a lot more time to sit and talk (for the big people) and run and play (for the little people). Here are a couple great recipes to try – and maybe even share at your next “soup lineup.” [tasty-recipe id="37869"] [tasty-recipe id="37870"] [caption id="attachment_22692" align="aligncenter" width="800"]Designed like the spoons years ago with that classic, extra-wide round shape, our soup spoons easily scoop meat, vegetables and broth so you can enjoy every slurp.
