Enter Soup Groups, The Next Big Get-Together Trend
By ANNA DENSON
Wouldn't it be nice if there was some simple, casual meal concept that removed all the intricate planning and heightened stress that usually comes with staging your next get-together? Enter the inviting and approachable idea of soup groups, poised to be the next big trend for social gatherings.
It works like this: Each member of the group takes turns opening their home and providing one or two types of homemade soup for everyone to enjoy. Hosting rotates each time, and the main course is always some kind of soup or stew, creating a casual and unfussy way to schedule regular social time with your BFFs.
Soup groups also present a fantastic opportunity to broaden your culinary horizons without having to demolish a whole pot of soup all on your own. By playing around with more experimental recipes, you never know when you might discover a new favorite and impress your friends in the process.
