5th Annual Spokane Soup Swap

5th Annual Spokane Soup Swap

Thursday, January 31, 2012           

6:00-8:00pm

Located at the home of Cheryl Corrigan-Matamoros,

3806 W Woodside Ave.

328-9563 or 979-0462

Soup Swap Guidelines

1.     Make one or two soups that will freeze well and place into one quart containers.  6 quarts is suggested, but any less will do. Freeze the filled quarts.

2.     Make a copy of the recipe to bring. If you are able, think about those in our community who are hungry and gather a can or more of soup to donate to

2nd Harvest Food Bank of the Inland Northwest.

3.     Show up at 6:00 with your 6 quarts of frozen soups in a box or bag to carry them in, your recipe, and your hunger. If there are any instructions other than warm and serve, please accompany each quart of soup with those instructions.

4.     6:00- 7:00 visit with friends and meet new friends.

 Eat:  Soup and accompaniments will be served by hostess for your evening meal.

5.     7:00 Soup Swap:  take a number, you could be first to choose, or you could be last!  You take home the number of quarts you brought.

6.     8:00 Take your soup home and put in your freezer!

I got the idea for the Soup Swap on the internet while looking for new recipes.  The man who started it is in Seattle.  This is his website:
