I am planning a soup buffet for 120 people. In an earlier thread you had mentioned what to serve with it, so I am going to have:
Beef barley stew About 15% of the wedding guests are vegetarian or vegan. How many gallons of each soup should I make, and how much beef do you think will go into the quantity of beef stew I need? Thank you! |

This is a fine meal, and if it is for a wedding, please consider adding an appetizer table. In this case, you might consider a Middle Eastern approach with dolmas, feta cheese chunks, Greek olives, and mild cherry peppers, plus hummus and pita chips. Aetna or Aegean are reliable brands, a $7 can has 60 dolmas, you would want 3-4 cans. 3 pounds cubed feta, 2-3 quarts olives, 2 quarts cherry peppers; 6-8 cups hummus total and 1ounce pita chips per person.
Beef barley stew- If this is a stew, rather than a soup, 20-25 pounds beef Butternut squash soup- 3 soups is very adequate for this size group. Consider 1 roaster full of roasted, cubed butternut squash with olive oil, honey or agave , and herbs. Various toppings for soups- use the taco bar page; for something like corn, about 3 quarts
artisan breads and rolls-18-20 pounds
extensive cheese trays- 1 pound per 8 fruit trays- deluxe fruit tray for 100 would be enough for this, see fruit tray page
wedding cake You can write back. If this saves you time, trouble, or money, please make a donation, maybe a dime per guest, to support this site. Thanks. |
