Martie Knows Parties: Host a Souper Bowl Showdown
Wednesday, January 5, 2011 at 11:17PM
We are getting ready for Super Bowl Sunday; February 6th will be here before you know it! Who are you pulling for? Packers or Steelers? Who's going to win it all ?
Host a SOUPer Bowl Showdown!Take the competition to your party, too! One of my favorite party themes is where everyone brings their favorite dish for a SHOWDOWN! Who doesn't think their BBQ, or gumbo, soup, or ribs are the best?? When it is chilly outside, a soup buffet is really the perfect foundation for a party. Warm, comforting, affordable, easy to serve, easy to prepare in advance….. What’s not to like about soup?
We're going to be featuring great soup recipes all month for our big SOUPER BOWL SHOWDOWN!
You can host your own SOUPER BOWL SHOWDOWN for Super Bowl Sunday, it's simple!
Invite your friends over to watch the big game and issue the SOUP SHOWDOWN CHALLENGE. Ask everyone to make a big pot of their favorite soup for the competition and bring printed copies of the recipe to share. (or you can email all of the recipes after the fact)
Number all of the entries as they arrive if you want to keep them anonymous. I usually ask guests to bring their soup in a crock pot so it stays warm; it's easier to transport that way, also.
Vickie's Golden Cheese ChowderYou supply the beverages, crusty bread, crackers, and a condiment bar of mix-ins and toppings: croutons, bacon, different cheeses, sour cream, green onions, chives, Tabasco and other hot sauces, etc.
Provide ballots and ask guests to vote for their favorite soup and award prizes for the winners! Kitchen gadgets are always a fun prize. Or a huge ladle "trophy" that changes hands each year.
