Try a Pot Luck Soup Supper!

This idea takes pot luck dinner parties to a whole new level of affordability.

Soup is about as cheap as it gets. Have everyone sign up to bring a different type of soup in slow cooker, a topping or two, and a bread / biscuit / bread stick item. Make some flavored, whipped herb butters to have on hand. I would think this would be a fun menu to use for a winter activity outing, or after a fall hike. If you really want to amp up the wow factor, include some seriously super sandwich ideas for extra pizzaz.
