I started 100 Bowls of Soup in 2009 with the idea of sharing nourishing, wholesome, homemade soup with friends and neighbors. Since then it has been a journey of discovery -- learning about the many local sources of fresh ingredients, developing relationships with farmers, experimenting with vegetables, adapting new recipes and gathering valuable feedback from soup enthusiasts near and far. Throughout it all, my goal has remained steadfast -- to create the freshest, healthiest, most flavorful soup using the finest seasonal ingredients I can find from local, organic and sustainable farmers.
We cook fresh soup and stock each week choosing several different soups from our seasonal menu. Much of our produce comes from Tuscarora Organic Growers, a family farm coop in Pennsylvania. We use only organic and/or humanely raised local meat. All of our soups are gluten-free.
While there are a plethora of prepared soups available in the market, they are laden with salt, fat and other unwanted ingredients. Our soups are low in salt and low in fat (less than 200 mg of salt and less than 4g of fat per 8 oz serving). Our chicken and beef stock (made from grass fed local animal bones) and our classic vegetable stock, have no added salt. To enhance flavor we reach for the spice jar or lemon or lime juice before the salt shaker. We use only olive oil, less than one teaspoon per 8 oz serving. When the ingredients are fresh and flavorful, few are needed.
Try our soup and let us know what you think.
Sincerely,
