I had a neighbor years ago who refused to feed her family soup, canned or homemade, she thought soup was worthless. Can you imagine?? I actually felt sorry for her family.
If this doesn't appeal to you try this Stone Soup Recipe from the Food Network.
Have a soup party to celebrate National Soup Month! Invite your friends for a soup potluck. Have each guest or family bring a crockpot of their favorite soup. Ask them the bring a few copies of the recipe for those who might want to make it themselves. You can provide the toppers and go alongs. Provide bowls and mugs (plenty of spoons too) so everyone can try them all. Ask the guests to bring a can of food or non perishable food item to be donated to the local food pantry.
A soup party would be a good fund raising event for your church congregation to help the homeless or other helpful organizations. Maybe your church could start a food pantry. My church did this a few years ago, starting in a shed behind the church, and is now serving over 2,000 people from a building they purchased from donations.

There's a whole month for soup? Cool! I love soup, too.
Shari...terrific post! Love the suggestion for BOGO sales.
Best wishes,

Being true to my post I am making soup for dinner tonight. Nothing could be easier. I rarely use a soup recipe...instead I make "Kitchen soup". You just search the refrigerator and cupboards for ingredients that sound good. Put them together, season, heat, and serve.
Tonight I will serve our soup with homemade cheese biscuits. I usually have crusty bread or rolls but we don't have any tonight. I like to change things up anyway ...not so boring that way.
Tonight I will start with leftover spaghetti sauce, macaroni, italian sausage, stock, whatever veggies look good, etc.
I can't wait. While the wind howls outside and whips the trees to and fro, we will have heaping bowls of hot bubbly homemade soup and biscuits with butter. Jealous??

Great ideas for giving. And, considering the winter weather in the Northern Hemisphere, this is a great time for soup. There's always chicken soup for upset tummies, too.
We love soup too. Great idea for a post and helpful for parents too.
