If you happen to aren’t somebody with a signature aspect dish, the entire idea of potlucks may stress you out (hello, I’m proper there with you!). Determining what to make and convey, how many individuals it can feed, if it’ll enchantment to a large organize of palates, if it’ll match with the vast majority of the dishes usually — it’s worrying! I could also be (positively) overthinking this, which is why I are likely to volunteer for drinks and ice more often than not. That’s why I’m so glad to see TikTokers bucking this pattern and arising with their very own twist on potlucks: soup evening!
Not like conventional potlucks the place everybody tries to carry various things — there are sometimes spreadsheets concerned! — at soup evening, everybody is meant to carry the identical sort of dish. First strain immediately eliminated! All of the friends carry their very own favourite soup recipes for friends to strive, and it’s the right winter ceremonial dinner thought.
TikToker Rob Shepherd (@robshep) shared a video of his latest soup evening. “Christmas social gathering soup evening. This was wonderful!!!” he captioned the submit, which has 2.8 million views. Within the video, he defined, “It’s like a conventional potluck, however as an alternative of bringing random meals, everybody a soup. The enjoyable half is, everybody introduced their very own muffin pan, then we put cups within the muffin pan and stuffed them with all of the soups.”
Um, are you able to say sensible?! Not having to clean out the bowl six occasions to strive totally different soups, however simply having all of them there to strive at your leisure sounds nice. Then throwing away the disposable cups for simple cleanup on the finish? Yep, that is positively one in every of our favourite 2024 meals traits.
There have been additionally crackers and breads to dip within the soup, finishing the pleasant dinner. As if the views weren’t sufficient indication of how a lot folks love this concept, the feedback bolstered it. “An annual Soup Scoop!!!! I might love this!!!” one individual stated.
“love love love soup! what an incredible thought!!!” one other individual commented. Another person wrote, “low-cost, straightforward, and a enjoyable option to get the fam collectively, I’m so down.”
And probably the most sensible thought but: “We’re doing this the week earlier than superbowl and calling it a SOUPER BOWL social gathering.”
