The first time I had a soup served to me as a party appetizer, was at a Holiday party given by my sweet friend, Kelly. I thought it was such a chic idea, but of course, everything she does is fabulous! So I did it on Thanksgiving. It's unexpected, and my guests acted as if they really enjoyed it. Serving it in a cup means no spoon needed.
