More About This Book

Overview

The Soup and Bread Cookbook aims to explore the social role of soup through a collection of terrific, affordable recipes from food activists, chefs, and others. This quirky exploration of the cultural history of soup as a tool for both building community and fostering social justice is the result of a brainstorm: eating your way through a pot of soup day after day can get boring — why not get together and swap some with friends? Now neighbors across the country are getting together regularly for home-based "soup swaps." In Chicago, the arts collective InCUBATE uses soup as a microfunding tool. And of course, soup can be a political statement: the radical volunteers of Food Not Bombs have been providing free vegetarian soup to the hungry as a protest against war and social injustice since 1980. These are just a few examples of the stories Bayne wraps around a collection of delicious, accessible, and tested soup recipes.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
If you enjoy community cookbooks, check out this thoughtfully designed compilation from Soup and Bread, a weekly soup dinner and fund-raiser held at Chicago's Hideout bar. Food writer Bayne has gathered stories and recipes from a colorful cast of writers, designers, musicians, and chefs, and she succeeds in preserving their individual voices. Here you'll find culturally diverse, vegan-friendly, and technically accessible soups perfect for feeding a crowd or stocking your freezer. This book's successful balance of utilitarian and gourmet recipes will please many, though its small size and tight binding will frustrate readers who like their cookbooks to lie flat.

    I found this cookbook to be really useful. If you enjoy soup and bread meals on cold winter evenings you'll appreciate
    this collection of recipes. And I love the idea of a soup swap---this I must try!
