Soups are always the best choice if we talk of appetizers. During winters, intake of soups keep you warm and you can have variety of options ranging from pure Vegetarian to Non Vegetarian preparation. While planning a menu for dinner its better if you know the preference of the person or group you would be entertaining. For eg: try knowing whether they are Vegetarians or Non Vegetarians. Next what all they like in Veg (vegetables and fruits) and Non Veg (meat, fish, eggs, red meat). Once you have the idea of the food they eat you can design your menu accordingly.
