Preparing Cold Soups – Garde-Manger – Polish Pottery Tableware

Chilled Elegance – Cold Soups in Polish Pottery

As climate change brings hotter summers, cold soups are becoming increasingly popular – refreshing, light, and nutritious.
In professional kitchens, especially at the Garde-Manger station, cold soups are a staple – served as starters, light meals, or elegant buffet components.

Polish pottery by Ceramika Artystyczna offers the perfect vessels:

• Classic deep soup plates

• Modern plates with wavy rims

• Pasta-style deep dishes

• Soup cups with handles

• Bowls without handles – ideal for cooling and serving

Each piece is handmade, durable, and visually appealing.

High-Quality Ingredients Matter

Since cold soups are often not cooked, ingredient quality is critical.
Choose organic vegetables or home-grown produce – more flavor, richer color, and better texture.
Fresh herbs, cold-pressed oils, and citrus juices elevate the final result.
