Sip ‘n dip recipes for parties

Here’s one way to entertain
easily through the holidays.
Summon you friends to a sip ‘n
dip party. The refreshments are
simple — soup to sip, breads to
dip, and that’s it.

As snow flakes whirl and
chill breezes chatt your
guests will welcome a hot drink
on a winter day. Modern home-
makers know it’s fashionable to
serve a soup that’s twice-good.
The answer is hot soup punch,
made from two canned soups
that blend in flavor and texture.
A combination of chicken broth
and cream of tomato soup makes

a tangy holiday “punch”—just
begging to be accented with
Worcestershire sauce, curry
powder, mace and cloves, and

topped with fresh lime circles

for a Christmasy touch. Served
in your favorite mugs, of course.

To go with the soup, why not

Best part of this party is that
refreshments can be made well
in advance of your ° guests’
arrival. No excuse for the
hostess to be hiding in the
kitchen when the fun’s at its
peak. Soups can be blended and

A friend of mine said that

she failed to send out any
Christmas card all, But
it made no difference . . . no-
one seemed to even notice that
they hadn’t received a card from
her and the following year she
received just many. Even
odder, is the fact that she has
received a card from one couple
for over ten years and has never
returned their greeting. Dither

Christmas card tradition could
be a wonderful way in which
