Move over, wine and beer flights; there’s a new tasting experience in town. Perfect for cozy nights, casual gatherings and chilly afternoons … meet the soup flight! This creative approach to serving soups and chilis is an emerging trend that adds a little extra fun to family dinners and get-togethers.
So, are you wondering what a soup flight is?
Well, a soup flight provides a variety of mini portions of different soups, served together on a tray or board much like a more traditional flight of wine or beer. Typically, each portion of soup is around 4-6 ounces, allowing people to sample several flavors without committing to a full bowl.
Soup flights are very versatile and can be customized to fit a variety of taste buds and occasions. A great soup flight balances variety in flavor, color, heats and texture. Tastefully Simple has a variety of soup mixes that make it super simple to create flavors for your flight.
Perfectly Potato Cheddar Soup
This hearty, creamy soup is a family favorite. Just add water and simmer for 30 minutes. The result is a thick, flavorful, satisfying bowl of potato cheddar comfort.
Wahoo! Chili
Made with the signature Wahoo! Chili® Seasoning, ground beef, tomato sauce and beans of your choice – this mild chili will have you cheering for more.
Creamy Wild Rice Soup
This flavorful soup features wild rice, white rice and veggies in a creamy broth. Just add water and simmer your way to delicious. Add your favorite protein, such as chicken, sausage or ham, for a soup worthy to be the main course.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
It’s never been easier to make this restaurant favorite flavor at home. Thick and savory with the flavors of hearty red beans, garlic and onions, this medium-heat soup cooks up easily with the addition of chicken and water.
Serve your soups with a variety of toppers like croutons, cheese, chives, bacon bits (we recommend Bacon Bacon™) or tortilla chips, and of course, a slice of warm Bountiful Beer Bread®. Your family or guests will appreciate garnishing their soup how they like best.
Soup flights bring fun to weeknights or special occasions. Here are a few ideas for when to serve your soup flight:
Family Dinners
For adventurous and picky eaters, a soup flight allows everyone to try something new without pressure. It’s a great way to introduce family members to different flavors, recipes or international flavors. It’s a great conversation starter, too. Ask your family to talk about their favorite, least favorite and surprise picks.
Wine & Soup Pairing Nights
Have fun with your friends. Host a tasting night where each soup is paired with a wine or artisan bread. For example, pair Creamy Wild Rice Soup with a chardonnay or the spicier Chicken Tortilla Soup with a bold red.
Dinner Parties
Serve a soup flight as a creative appetizer. It’s unexpected, interactive and sets the tone for a meal to remember. Looking for a more laid-back vibe for your dinner party? Let the soup flight be the main course.
Set Up a Soup Bar
Perfect for showers, office parties, open houses or casual receptions. Set up a DIY soup bar with ladles, mini mugs and topping stations for a fun, customizable experience.
So whether you’re entertaining friends, feeding your family or just want to break out of your weeknight dinner rut, try a soup flight to bring creativity, flavor and a whole lot of warmth to your table.
Enjoy!
