both at the same time
Type your answer here... soup first
Soup first, then salad. An exception would be if the soup was the main entree, then the salad would be served first. Then again, if the salad contains meat like chicken, then it's more like a meal and the soup should come first. Bottom line is there is no real right or wrong way. There are places in Rome where they serve the salad last ... after dinner. Yes, after dinner.
Soup first then salad
Only if you want to
Crusty bread from the oven and/or a nice tossed salad with your favorite dressing. Usually I'd eat the salad with the bread and then the soup with the bread.
Starter, then soup or salad.
You start with soup first. You don't need to worry as someone will serve you dinner in the right order.When in doubt, look at the order in which the utensils are displayed, from the outside going toward the plate. That will normally give you the necessary clue.
When setting the table for a meal in which soup is the first course, the soup bowls are placed on top of the dinner plate. (Or on top of the salad plate, which is already on top of the dinner plate if salad is to follow the soup.)
Appetizer, salad and lastly, the soup.
Yes.
If the meal is only two courses, both dishes need to compliment the other to make it a nutritionally complete meal. You could serve soup and salad or soup and sandwiches. If the soup is a vegetable beef, and the salad has a good mix of veggies, this would be a good, nutritious meal.
* The first course at a formal meal is the soup. However. the host/hostess may not service soup so it would be the salad.
