Any ladies serving soup at their wedding?

We did! Soup course, salad course, and then family style dinner. It's a cultural thing. You can't sit down to dinner in a Polish household and not have soup.

Since the dinner was family style they served the soup that way too - empty bowls were already out on the place settings and servers brought carafes of soup to every table and served right there. The soup was a big hit. One of my BMs fessed up that she had 3 bowls.

I love soup when it's cold outside. It's also generally a crowd pleaser...easy to find something everyone likes.

We are! Cheddar broccoli soup! =)

As a caterer, I can tell you that this almost never goes well. Most people are scared of it; it's too sloppy, they have just sat at a table where they may not know everyone...it's awkward. I do, however, like soup shots passed during cocktail hours and that always seems to go.

We had a choice of soup or salad we chose a cream of tomato soup with basil. FH dad loved it so much at the tasting he pretty much drank it.

There has been soup at 90% of the weddings I have gone to and I have never been scared of it. I have also not noticed other people avoiding it. Even when we were in Mexico for my BFFs weddin there was soup and it was a delish pepper soup that the bride loved so much I gave her mine so she could have a second bowl.

Our caterer suggested having salad pre-set and the soup brought out right as people sit down. Each course takes about half an hour so this combines the two and saves time.

We are thinking of doing a soup bar! I think soup is an excellent option
