Soup Swap Day

Tomorrow is Soup Swap Day.  A day to break out your soup recipes to share with family and friends.

You need a location, some recipes, some soup to share and people.  A fun day to have a get together, especially in these cold winter months.

Soup connoisseurs have determined that soup has been around in the world for the last 5,000-9,000 years.  You must be able to find a recipe to two! 

It can be found in all cultures in one form or another so it’s universal.

The word derives from the word, “suppa”.  Interesting if you live in Boston since “suppa” is really dinner in this neck of the woods.  “Suppa” actually comes from the Latin word for bread soaked in broth.  French Onion Soup anyone?. 

What kind of soup do you like to make?  Are you a potage type of person?  Do you like chowders or maybe a minestrone soup?  Vegetable soup with barley can be delicious.  There are so many options.

Are you someone that follows a recipe or do you create your own?  If you make your own you might want to jot down a few notes in case it’s a hit and people want the recipe.

No need to rush into it tomorrow if you need more time to get organized and cook.  A soup swap is good any time during the winter months and we still have a few more cold months to go.

Private Home Health Care loves to make soup during the winter.  Vegetable soups are our favorite but we wouldn’t pass up a yummy chicken or beef based soup!    We hope you can take time to have a swap and add to your list of recipes to make.
