Storage. Let's Do (Soup) Shots. Amuse-bouche meets Animal House in the soup shooter. Part shot, part flavorful intro to dinner, the soup shooter works as an exciting, alcohol free amuse-bouche. While serving an amuse-bouche course may seem too chef-y (If I'm not sure how to pronounce the name of the course, should I be serving it?) , soup shooters can be a fun way to transition from cocktails to a holiday dinner. A soup shooter is also an opportunity to highlight local, in season flavors, like the carrots and beets I found at the farmer's market over the weekend. If you, like me, can't serve up a soup course since you don't have a dining room to offer everyone a seat in front of the soup, this is another option.
No tureen necessary. We've got five soup shooter tips after the jump.• Glasses: You'll need a set of small glasses to put this off. If you must buy new stuff, think of it as an investment. . • Sip-a-bility: If you're going to serve the soup in a small glass -- without a spoon -- make sure your soup can be sipped.
