There are lots of good ideas for a starter, but the king of them all has to be soup. Certain soups are so hearty that they can be served as a main meal and Irish Mulligan Stew is an excellent example. This is in essence a variation of the world famous Irish Stew whose origins lie in hobos improvising this classic dish with whatever ingredients they could get hold of to throw into the pot. Some would argue that these hobos must have eaten very well as it includes tasty and filling vegetables such as potatoes and carrots with beef brisket thrown in for good measure. Another example of a soup that can be served as either a main dish or a starter is known as Ajiaco and as free chicken soup recipes go, the one on our site is well worth remembering.
