There’s a wonderful initiative going on in North America today, that you’ve probably never heard about.

It’s National Soup It Forward Day, created by an organization in Calgary, called Soup Sisters. For the past 10 years, Soups Sisters and Broth Brothers have helped millions of victims affected by domestic violence. Today they will continue this tradition on National Soup It Forward Day, March 3, 2019, by hosting soup-making events for local shelters and people in need in North America.  Don’t you just love this idea?

We often reach for a comforting bowl of soup when we’re sick but it can provide comfort and nourishment at any time for anyone. As the Soup Sisters say, it’s a Hug in a Bowl.

You could make a difference in someone’s life with soup. It’s easy. The next time you make soup, consider making a double batch and bringing some over to someone in need. It doesn’t have to be today. It could be ANY DAY and it doesn’t even have to be soup. Maybe you have a neighbour or a friend who is struggling right now…maybe he or she has lost a spouse recently or is going through a divorce or is struggling with a parenting issue…or is just simply having a bad day.

If you’re looking for inspiration, here is my current collection of soup recipes.

Lemon Grass Chicken Soup,  Keto Chili,  Mini Meatball Soup,  Keto Clam Chowder

And of course, there’s also Homemade Bone Broth which is wonderful on its own but can also be the base of any soup you make.

Bring someone a Hug in a Bowl. It may do more good for them than you’ll ever realize.
