Guest Picks: Soup Essentials
Warm up with 20 ways to serve a better bowl of soup
Soup — of all kinds — is my absolute favorite food. It's also something that I write about and photograph quite often for my blog. This month's collection of items consists of things that I love for the soup-making kitchen. I've found stylish serving pieces, cookware with pops of color and a few items to make your soup presentation really special.

The vintage vibe of these towels makes me happy, and at less than $4 for four of them, you don't care if they get stained with canned tomatoes.

| I love these double-handled soup crocks for hearty french onion soups and stews. They're oven safe so you can melt gooey cheese and toast bread on top! |

I adore my Emile Henry Stewpot. The 7-quart capacity makes it easy to cook big batches of soups and stews in a lightweight pot.

When I don't feel like hauling out the Vitamix, or I'm making soup in small batches, I whizz stuff up in the pot with my Cuisinart immersion blender. I'm in love with this kelly green color.

I use Weck glass jars for soup storage. They are so minimal, let the soup shine through the glass, and don't discolor or take on odors like some plastic storage containers.

I love the idea of gussying up plain white soup cups with graphic saucers or charger plates. These would be a great conversation starter at a dinner party.

Fresh herbs are always a touch I add to my soup recipes, and indoor herb gardens let you do that year-round.

One thing I love to do when entertaining is pour soup into guests' bowls at the table. It's an easy touch that makes soup seem fitting for a dinner party.
