I have to say, I'm not sure what inspired me to make soup for our last dinner club... Ha ha ha.
Just kidding. I love soup. Our menu was inspired by the Soup Bible and also by Taylor's, in a sense. I started out with a simple brie appetizer that our friend Laura makes. I'm not sure if it was exactly the same recipe, but for mine I poured brown
sugar on top of the round brie, stuck in the microwave for a couple of minutes, and then poured split almonds on top. Always yummy. Then for the main course, I made a vermouth and cream of onion soup topped with seared scallops, black caviar, and chives. On the side was a gruyere and pear panini on rye. The drink of choice was a caper berry martini that I made up after eating caper berries for the first time at Taylor's restaurant.
Dessert was easy no mess moose chocolate ice cream with strawberry sauce and chocolate covered oreos. I have to say that I really enjoyed the soup but it was a LOT of work and stress. I'm going low maintenance for my next DC!! So look out guinea pigs!



That was one of the best soups ever!
