Ah, what kind of soup to make before a rousing holiday meal? Some prefer a light broth, many choose a classic variation on a squash soup or pumpkin soup. If the meal to follow isn't overwhelming, a good chowder can satisfy the holiday taste buds.
Whatever you pick, whether soup, chowder or broth, it sets the tone for the rest of the meal. If you have a Thanksgiving turkey stuffing that is Italian in flavor, don't opt for a chile-filled southwestern style soup. this is the dish that awakens the palate, so choose carefully. If you cook a Christmas roast beef, choose a light soup.
