Crisp air, colorful leaves, and a simmering pot on the stove—fall is here, and so is Soup Season. Whether you’re hosting family or inviting friends for a casual night in, a soup potluck is the perfect way to feed a crowd without the stress.
Soup’s On
Fill the table with a variety: creamy chowders, wild rice blends, spicy chili, and veggie-packed broths. RONNINGS carries soup mixes (including Minnesota wild rice favorites) and even a soup cookbook if you’re feeling adventurous. Invite guests to bring their own and turn it into a “soup swap.”

Try a Soup-cuterie Board
Forget meat and cheese—it’s time for toppings! Load an acacia charcuterie tray (like the Farberware Lazy Susan Make & Take with compartments and lid) with shredded cheese, herbs, croutons, crackers, and bacon bits. The lid makes it easy to prep ahead and store until showtime.
Serve It Beautifully
From layered Baltic wood utensils that double as art to the Songbird Specialties® Bottle Pourer that sings as you pour wine, the little details make it memorable. Don’t worry about fancy china—disposable soup cups and condiment cups keep things simple for sampling.
Bring It Anywhere
Heading to a friend’s place? Fancy Panz® Premium Sets dress up foil pans, protect your food, and keep it hot or cold with an included gel pack. We also carry insulated carriers and compartment inserts for easy transport.
Bread, Snacks & Sips
Soup loves company—serve beer bread from our easy mixes, party crackers, or lighter nibbles like gourmet popcorn, Dot’s Pretzels, and Virginia Diner peanuts so guests don’t fill up before the main event. For dessert, apple fritters are fall perfection. Drinks? Try our wine and spirit slushie mixes or cider.
Set the Scene
Lay out fun kitchen towels as table runners, scatter mini pumpkins, and light a few candles. Create stations for soups, toppings, drinks, and dessert so guests can mingle and refill as they please.
Soup Season is about comfort, connection, and keeping it simple.
With the right flavors, a few beautiful pieces from RONNINGS, and a cozy atmosphere, you can make your autumn gatherings unforgettable.
