There is a non spicy vegetarian soup and a moderately spicy coconut thai chicken soup. Signi has also made 6 litres of cauliflower soup. here is a sign up sheet by the posters in the Orchard and the church, or you can email ginnygglover@gmail.com to indicate you would like some soup. Also if you know anyone in the Parish, Orchard or Cadboro Bay community that would appreciate a litre of soup, please let us know. We are planning to gather again in the fall to make more soup and would like to expand our reach to possibly Transition House, Harrison House and the Shelbourne Soup Kitchen.
