I was browsing a book from the library (Star Wars: The Life Day Cookbook: Official Holiday Recipes From a Galaxy Far, Far Away by Jenn Fujikawa.) There I saw a recipe about a soup being topped with octopus in oil. I thought the idea was excellent because in every adventure there is almost always a scene in a tavern where some kind of soup or porridge is being served to the heroes before they get into trouble somehow. And I happened to find an amazing seafood salad at Costco, that included a few whole octopuses and tasted amazing. I made my own version of shrimp and clam chowder, served it in rustic looking sourdough bread bowls , and topped it with the seafood. The seafood, specially the octopus, looked like alive creatures trapped in the soup and waiting to be eaten. Just like Jabba the Hutt when he ate a creature alive.
You will need:
- 4-5 Sourdough bread bowls. Make them or buy them at you nearest bakery. I bought the bread bowls at Panera Bread.
- Your favorite soup. I made my version of clam and shrimp chowder.
- Wild toppings that brings you and your guests out of your comfort zone. I used Renna Seafood Salad from Costco.
Instructions:
- Open the bread in the top and scoop some bread out to make room for the soup.
- Fill the bread bowls with the soup.
- Serve with your chosen wild toppings.
