How much potato soup do I need to make for 25 people?

Answer 1

If that is the entree, I'd allow 1-1½ cups per person, or 6-9 quarts for 25 people. Be sure to have plenty of toppings (sour cream, cheese bacon bits, green onions) for on top, but you won't need as much of that as you think.


You may try doubling or almost tripling this recipe to have enough. It's pretty flexible, so add more potatoes or broth as needed.

Soup For 30 People

Answer 3

One serving of soup is 6-8 ounces. This all depends on the setting and the people. If this is family, double the amount. If you are serving strangers, 6 oz is fine.

6x25= 150 oz =a little better than one and a half gallons. Go ahead and make two, potato soup is cheap.

Answer 5

Depends on the size of the bowls your using for service, will one bowl be enough? 10 or 12 oz bowl is plenty big enough, base your needs on that, and all the sides/ add ins are great too.

Answer 6

Depends-how much do they eat?

Assume they'll have 2 bowls each... probably 5 gallons,or so,would be plenty. Typically you -can- get 10 servings per gallon.
