Soup Swap and a Story

We tried something new at Community Group this week.

A soup swap and a story. Here's how it works. 

1. Everyone cooks a pot of soup. You have enough for yourself for dinner that night or the next. You place the remaining soup in two labeled jars (we used spaghetti jars and they were a great size and free!). Bring these with you. 

2. Put numbers in a hat to determine the order you pick. Before you pick two soups from the pile (can be two different soups), you must share a story about yourself. We asked the following: who is your hero, most difficult time in your life and best time in your life? 

3. Then you pick your two soups. One soup will be for you to enjoy and the other is for you to give away to a neighbor - could be someone you are just getting to know, someone that you know is having a hard time or someone you would like to meet. The point is to brighten their day! 

That's it! We loved our soup swap and a story. It was a great way to try a new soup recipe, get to know each other better and brighten a neighbor's day. 

Tired of the freezing winter? Eat soup.
