Everything you need to know on How to Host a Soup Party. It’s quick and easy and your guests will love it.
Hosting a soup party has been a tradition of ours for years. We usually do it on New Year’s Eve but it can be done any time of year. It’s also a great and easy idea when you have unexpected company because it comes together quickly and easily especially when you use Bear Creek Dry Soup Mixes. Using Bear Creek Soup Mixes is the perfect way to “soup up” your night so you can spend your time enjoying your friends and family instead of slaving away in the kitchen.
Dinner can be ready in 20 minutes and the clean up is minimal. Doesn’t get much better than that and besides being easy it’s also fun. Whether you are hosting a soup party for guests or just your family everyone is going to havew fun selecting their favorite soup and toppings to go with it.
I basically cleaned out my pantry for the toppings. I like having a selection of nuts including almonds, pistachios and some pumpkin seeds. Other toppings I used were tortilla chips, corn chips and popcorn – yes popcorn! Grated cheese, sour cream and some fried onions are also a great choice. Just see what you have in your pantry.
For a soup party I chose a cream based soup and used the Creamy Potato Soup Mix and then a tomato based soup with the Tortilla Soup. All you have to do is add boiling water and simmer for 15 minutes.
Then let the fun begin! After everyone has chosen their soup and filled their bowl let them go crazy with the toppings. It is fun to see what combinations everyone comes up with.
I like lots of crunch in my soup so I go for the nuts and chips! And popcorn too!!

I’m doing a wedding reception in TWO DAYS using Bear Creek soups and I’m so glad I found this! Did you combine a cream soup with the potato soup? What and how much? I was thinking of adding some tomato something to the taco soup. What did you do? I’m also using the Bear Creek Chicken Noodle soup. Any ideas for that one?
What a fun idea for a wedding reception. I used the soups as is and just added toppings and mixins. I didn’t combine any of the soups.
Great! Thank you!
The soups were a BIG hit! People couldn’t believe we were using mixes because they tasted so good. Thanks for your stir-in ideas and pictures. ‘Never would have thought of pepitas or French fried onions, and I served both!
What a great idea! Can you tell me the source for the type of pumpkin seeds you show in the photograph? The are the closest to what I remember as a kid.
They came from Trader Joes. Thanks!
