I have been racking my brain for a way to invite some old and new neighbors in to our new home and wanted to do something with soup in January, but I could not make a decision. I think this post is an answer to my prayer. : ) YA-HOOOO!!!!

We often resuse our yogurt containers for soup swap, but on the keys to a successful soup swap is that everyone is using the same size containers! We've found that the one quart size is easiest to manage (4 cups to a quart) and that most folks have a post in the kitchen that will make 6 quarts (sometimes you have to add a little stock at the end ;-) ) I mention this as everyone is on the hunt to resuse which is way better than recycling: make sure you get the right size (or right combination tied together with ribbon!) to equal a quart! We're swapping in Greenlake, and certainly welcome any swappers or folks who just want to drink some wine, meet some new folks and see how we do it. It should be a "major" swap with well over 20 soups to choose from! Good times! www.soupswap.com (and yep, We're Seattle!) If I am not over soupswapped out (hard to imagine) this sounds like fun.

I love the Soup idea and want to suggest using the large plastic containers like Amy's Organic Yogurt or the Costco cottage cheese containers (clean, of course) as they hold 6-8 cups. I will bring daughter Karen's famous Chickpea (aka Garbanzo Bean) soup.
