After completing your soup\, and sharing some with your family\, freeze and label the rest for donation\, then drop off at one of our participating food assistance providers. \nStudents can earn 1 Student Service Learning Hour for every 2 quarts of frozen soup made with the group and delivered to others.  There is a maximum of 10 quarts that can qualify for any given day (5 SSL hours).

This is the most time-consuming part of the recipe. \n\nHeat the olive oil and butter in a large soup pot over medium-high. Add the onions and salt\, stir to coat. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes\, stirring occasionally until onions soften completely.\nAdd the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute or so. Add the potatoes and carrots along with the broth. Bring to a boil\, then reduce to a simmer.\nAfter 5 minutes of simmering\, add the broccoli and boil another 7-10 minutes or so. You want everything to be tender (especially check if the potato and broccoli are tender). Remove from heat.\nBlend the mixture in a high-speed blender (in batches) or using an immersion blender. Be careful\, it’s hot. If the soup is thicker than you like\, add more hot water or broth at this point. The most important step is next. Season the soup well to your liking with more salt\, if needed\, and the lemon juice (if you like it sour).
