Check out the upcoming KindSoup recipes on this page to choose those that appeal to you and fit your schedule. Mark your calendar and plan to join us via Zoom. There’s no need to register in advance (unless you are a student seeking to earn SSL Hours for your community service).

Shop for any ingredients you’ll need in advance, and add some plastic food containers (to package your finished KindSoup) to your list if you don’t already have some. (We also recommend collecting take-out containers from friends and neighbors, who will be thrilled to put their extras to good use.)

To better keep up in real time, prepare your ingredients in advance as noted in the recipe, chopping and shredding items as appropriate and measuring ingredients out to the extent practical. Throughout the prep and cooking, we ask that you scrupulously follow the common sense cleanliness guidelines outlined on each week’s recipe details.

Sign on to our KindSoup Zoom space (Mondays at 5:00 pm ET), and our guest chef will lead us in cooking a yummy soup or stew together. And, of course, we chat and ask questions about the recipes while we cook.

After setting aside enough for your family, and letting the soup cool down a bit, package up the rest in quart-sized food containers with tight fitting lids suitable for the freezer.

Label each container and freeze. (Use this template to print six-per-page KindSoup labels off your own printer.) Labels should include

• date prepared
• your first name and last initial
• type of soup
• any relevant allergy or food preference info

When convenient, deliver your frozen soups to one of our participating food assistance providers (see below), with a person or family that is in your heart, or any other place that you prefer to spread kindness.

Let us know about the KindSoup you shared. Complete this form to report on how many quarts (or the equivalent) you distributed and where.  We also love to hear stories of what the experience of giving, or getting KindSoup meant to you, or to those with whom you shared some of yours.  Please share those on the form too!!

Spread the word so we can spread more soup kindness. Post a picture or two of you and your soups on social media, using #DoKindWorks and tagging us @DoKindWorks. Or email us your photos to share.

Want to make a different recipe to donate? Search through our soup recipe archives to find previous KindSoup concoctions to make on your own. You can donate any soup to our donation drop-off points, not just that week’s recipe.
