How To Make Pumpkin Soup Shots For A Party
How do you calculate the number of soup shots?
The 1st thing you need to do is find out how many people are attending and how big the soup shots are, how many each person will consume and how many soup choices you need.
Most shot glasses hold around 1 oz or 30 ml and are designed for booze. You probably want to test a few out as they may crack when you add hot liquids to them. You can always warm the shot glass to reduce thermal shock, which may help.
An alternative is to serve the soup in something eatable, like a crusty dinner roll, just sip and chew. Or perhaps a pastry cup. Make your soup nice and thick and not too hot so it is easy to serve and eat.
To buffet or not to have a buffet, is the question.
Serving your soup from a soup cauldron placed on a table may be a good approach. If your guests are responsible adults it could be a low-cost approach. Alturnitavl you hire someone to serve the shots in your kitchen and deliver them to your guests on trays.
I would take this approach if the soup shot were part of a selection of canapes or appetizers before the main sit-down menu.
