National Homemade Soup Day
February 4 · Level 1 · #2228 of 2238
National Homemade Soup Day celebrates the comfort of a pot simmering on the stove. This informal American food day invites cooks to revisit a family recipe or explore a soup from another culinary tradition.
How it is celebrated: people make soup at home, swap recipes and share portions with relatives or neighbors. Chicken noodle, chunky vegetable and countless other versions all fit the occasion; an elaborate recipe is entirely optional.
American soup swaps turn batch cooking into a social exchange. Participants bring portions of their homemade soup and leave with several different kinds to enjoy.
