Last night we attended a ‘soup night’ at our village. In the morning, I walked to my friend’s house and peeled about 5kg of potatoes while she cut up a heap of leeks as she had to provide 10 litres of potato and leek soup.
Over 100 people attended and we had six different soups to choose from. You could have potato and leek, minestrone, Thai pumpkin, coconut and lentil, Chinese chicken and corn or pea and ham soup. Most went back for at least two helpings as there was plenty of each.
I had chicken and corn, pea and ham then I needed to taste my friend’s potato and leek so I asked for a small amount of that. But the server was busy talking and filled my bowl so I had plenty to eat. There was also a large choice in the bread area.
Vince took random photos of the crowd, one of which you can see here. He also managed to win a bottle of Bailey’s Irish Cream by rolling a dollar coin closest to the bottle. It took him about eight tries but win it he did so we’ll enjoy that over the coming nights.

Yum, soup..Years ago when I was living in State College PA. I went to a soup night at a church and later a soup event at someone's house. It was the first time I had pumpkin soup, and also the first time I had peanut soup. They were both delicious. Peanut soup is kind of hard to find. I love pumpkin soup though, and would like to make it here. I think this fall.

@JudyEv I will have to try it. They make various peanut stews just a bit to the SE. There is a gas station, food place that has cauldrons of them. They taste OK, I have had samples. Might get some sometime.

The potato and leek soup sounds delicious to me. (I would have skipped the one with peas in it. 
)
It sounds like fun, though.

Wow! That's a good number of choices. I would have taken a little bit of everything and tasted it. I generally do that rather than filling myself with one or two options.
Congratulations to Vince over the win in his eighth attempt. Sounds a fun game but not an easy one.

@JudyEv I would have not mixed them, would have taken small portions in different servings. Mixing them would alter their taste and it might not go well. You could taste 3. Even that's good.

I would definitely have the lentil soup. It's one of my favorites. Congrats to Vince on his win.

My choice would be Chinese chicken and corn
Normally however I would not just have soup as a full meal.
