Soups are an integral part of appetizers, but they deserve a complete category of their own.
Soups are versatile. A hearty soup, such as one of the chowders, can be almost a meal in itself. Other soups may serve a first course at dinner or part of a soup sandwich fruit lunch. They can cool you on a warm day (gazpacho, for example) or warm you on a chilly day.
Some of these soups may provide a way to introduce new vegetables to your family.
Garnishes for soups may include a few croutons; a floating teaspoonful of sour cream, chopped chives, or parsley; or mushroom slices. Crackers, bread sticks, or crusty rolls go well with soup.
