eta... It would probably be easier to just start with what kind of base do you want to work with and go from there.

This could work. I was planning on having crab to put on top of the steak and Brie for the cheese plate. Anyone have any recipe suggestions? In recipe I pick would be a shot in the dark.

Turtle Soup

You can make a "turtle soup" using ground veal instead of turtle. Very good.

my favorite soups are usually a roasted squash soup of some sort w coconut milk

Roasted red pepper and crab bisque

Traditional New Years Eve soup en francais is French Onion soup. Kind of like the black-eyed peas in the south.

I'm making a ham stock and black eyed pea soup with andouille, but I don't think that's what you have in mind.


What are your other courses?

I have a white cheddar soup that's delicious, but if you're having a cheese plate, you might not want to go in that direction. It's a great soup served demitasse or as a starter course.

Lobster bisque is another. I just wing that when I make it. You can make a basic cream soup recipe using lobster stock and adding a bit of brandy.


Roasted red bell pepper soup garnished with some toasted almonds and chopped chives or finely chopped green onions is a good starter.

Corn and crab or crawfish or shrimp or andouille is another good one. I have a recipe in the recipe book above and you can make it with any of those ingredients.

Roasted cauliflower or roast any veggie you like and make a cream bisque out of it.

Shrimp and Corn Soup

I'd like to make one similar to the Chimes. Anybody have a good recipe that could get close to mimicking that one?

I try to keep chicken soup in the freezer sans the noodles since I find them mushy after freezing. It's easy to heat up and cook some pasta to add in.

I made pisole or (is it pisoli?)yesterday for the first time. It was easy and very tasty. It will definitely be a repeated soup in this house. Made a pretty big pot and it appears that it would freeze well.
