Soup or Salad?

We finalize the menu in a week.
We have found that the soup option is 2.20 cheaper than a salad. The choices are corn bisque, watercress soup served with croutons and chilled gazpacho with smoked oil and cucumber. I don’t feel they are fall choices for September 28th but could fit with the entree choices and menu.
Here is the menu so far

Braised beef ribs ( not on list and not sure the sides, we requested and they said yes!) or Panko crusted New York Strip (cant remember sides)

Walnut Pesto Angel Hair Pasta

Dessert
Bride and Grooms cake

We want the vegetarian option due to it’s 14.95 and think it is an option that people who are not vegetarians will choose.

So which soup would fit or no soup and get a neutral salad?
Ps the caterers are very gracious, they are making the bride a special menu to help with her health issues.
