Add creative touches to your soup

service for better visual appeal.

Add flair to a soup course with some imaginative serving

techniques. Soups do not always have to be served in bowls.

Employing different serving vessels and adding finishing touches to

the dish will add a visual appeal to your soup that would be lacking

from simply ladling the soup into a bowl.

Chicken Dish

1. Hollow Fruit

o For a chilled summer fruit soup, hollow out a large melon, leaving

behind the thick rind to hold the soup. Present individual servings of

chilled gazpacho in hollowed firm tomatoes instead of bowls. For a

crowd, make a warm pumpkin soup and pour it into a hollowed

pumpkin shell for a tureen. These impromptu "bowls" are not

intended as part of the meal, but they require no washing and can

be added to compost heaps once emptied.

Soup Stemware

o Cocktail glasses and wine goblets can create an elegant soup

presentation. Try a seafood soup in a margarita glass with a

cooked and peeled shrimp dangling over the side as a garnish. Bar

glasses should be used for chilled soups since the glass is thin and

hot soups could cool too quickly. Chill the glasses before adding

the cold soup. This will prevent the soup from warming from the

room's temperature.

o For an eye-catching side-by-side presentation serve two soups in

the same bowl. This is suited only for two thick soups, preferably

with a vegetable puree base. Try vibrant combinations such as

green split pea with a white cauliflower soup or pumpkin bisque

with a bright red pepper soup. Simultaneously pour a single ladle of

each soup type into opposite halves of a soup bowl, creating a

single,sharp border between the two, if done correctly. This

technique may take some practice to get it right, but it will be worth

the effort.

Pitch It

o Present a soup bowl containing only cooked meat or bread. Bring

the heated soup out in a large ceramic pitcher and pour it on top.

For example, place a cooked chicken leg or boneless breast in the

bowl for a chicken noodle soup. This ensures that every one gets

an entire piece of chicken. Instead of placing a toast on top of a

bowl of French onion soup, put the toast at the bottom and pour the

soup on top. As the warm soup breaks down the bread, it will

thicken the soup. Place a mound of shredded, raw vegetables in

the bowl and pour a hot vegetable soup on top. The thin cut of the

shredded vegetables will allow the heat from the soup alone to

cook them through to tenderness.
