Sunday Soup Swap

Washington, DC--Matty and I went to our first Soup Swap on Sunday evening. My friend, Adrienne, blogger at The Gracious Bowl, invited us to a wonderful gathering of really nice people and delicious food.

We ate an amazing collection of finger food while checking out the different soups that guests brought. Guests each brought six individual quarts of a frozen soup that they made. Numbers were drawn from a hat and we then picked out different soups. Prizes were given for most-original recipe and best presentation.

I made six quarts of "Venezuelan Beef Soup" with beef, yucca, potatoes, carrots, acorn squash, canolli beans, parsley and cilantro. Matty and I brought home (and stuffed into our freezer) an Argentinian soup, a lamb soup, a lobster bisque, an Indian split pea soup, a beef minestrone and a pork and apple soup. Amazing!
