What Others Are Saying
“Soup Night is one innovative way to reweave the fabric of community today’s children and families desperately need—block by block, bowl by bowl. I hope this book will inspire many more neighborhoods to begin their own Soup Night tradition.” “Making the world a better place is usually hard, frustrating work but occasionally it can be fun and exhilarating. Soup Night is the rare book that shows how small changes in your own life can lead to big, joyful change for your community and country. Soup Night is a delicious recipe for a new way of building community that is as old as humanity itself. By addressing our hunger for nourishing food, it responds to our universal hunger for connection and purpose.” — Billy Shore, co-founder and CEO, Share Our Strength “What a brilliant concept, not just for a book but for a way of life! I want to start Soup Night in my neighborhood and, thanks to this book, the strategies as well as delicious-sounding recipes are all laid out for me, along with charming text and beautiful photographs “Maggie Stuckey lovingly – and deliciously— relays the story of a single street’s weekly neighborly tradition of gathering over bowls of warm and hearty soup. She welcomes us with warmth and generosity to the intimate group, lends us a bowl and spoon and begins the introduction to a new, truly wholesome way to view soup. Her recipes convey warmth and ease, written to consider both the cook and their beloved diners in their thoughtfulness and simplicity. In short, Soup Night will warm your heart— and your stomach.”
