A Souper Tradition

January 29, 2008 by Alison

Traditions with friends are great. When they’re for a special cause, they are even better. Add cooking and they can’t be beat. My friends, Emily and Christina, and I got together the other day and, for the second year in a row, made soup for a Cooking with Friends Club event called the “Souper Bowl,” where members get together and make soup for a local food pantry.

We also reflected on why we cooked together. Our morning cooking efforts may not have resulted in a freezer full of food for ourselves, but our hearts were full knowing that a number of our less fortunate neighbors will enjoy healthy homemade soup while watching the Giants play the Patriots on Super Bowl Sunday.
