How much soup is needed for 50 people?

Answer 1

For what kind of occasion? And what kind of soup?! Let's say that the average person will consume 2 cups of soup if they're extremely hungry and the soup is somewhat hearty. 2 cups for a female, 2.5 for males, to average it out even more. What is the group? Males or Females? Then times 2 or 2.5 by the number of males and females, respectively, and add them together to find out how much soup is needed!

Answer 2

ALOT i mean one cup is good for one person but if your talking about FIVE well that's just pretty much FIVE cups and if you ask me not many people will want this answer but its kinda interesting for potluck dinners and grandparents possible even moms and dads! i mean another good thing to think about is if the five people are going to have seconds or not! then your probably talking bout making a whole pot roast pan or dish or whatever you want to call it.Anyway if people DO read this answer to this silly question i hope you enjoy it!! and make some soup "Its good for ya!!"

Answer 3

If you are using a recipe you need to see how many the recipe can serve as is. It will usually say how many it can serve.

A number of available recipes on the web using a whole chicken will feed eight people.

So for 20 people you will need 2 1/2 whole chickens and multiple each element of the recipe you choose by 2.5

This will make per person servings of between 1 1/2 and 2 cups. (leftovers are not a bad thing.) for twenty people you will need a cooking vessel between 30 and 40 cups.

Cooking vessels are usually measured in quarts so you will need an 8 - 10 quart pot to cook everything at one time.

Answer 4

well, if you're making about 1/4 COOKED for each person, you'll need 5 cups COOKED, which would be about 2 1/2 cups UNCOOKED.

Answer 5

1 portion = 8 fl. oz. (236 ml)

20 portions = 160 fl. oz. (4.72 L)

Extra must be made to account for evaporation.

Answer 6

generally a person eats 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 cups of soup so i would say around 250 cups of soup

Answer 7

I would make 18 cups, or 9 pints

Answer 8

I would make 3 gallons
