Great idea! My friend in a city north of participates in a group named "Soup and Salon."
This is a discussion group (like a book group) which meets in different gals' homes. Each salon has 3 soup makers and one bread provider. The discussion topic is issued inside the invitation.
For a soup choice, I would suggest a roast vegetable soup. Not many people make this and roast veggies taste terrific!
I will substitute rice flour for the AP, rye flour, wholewheat and graham, chickpea flour, etc. I add fine ribbons of dry seaweed, nigela seeds, sesame seeds, you get the picture.
While I have nothing against crackers in my homemade soup can they really stand up in comparison to good homemade garlic and herb and cheese drop biscuits. Just saying crackers.... I do like crackers in my Campbell soups but in homemade hhmmmm....
