I had the chicken chili for lunch. Very yummy. Grovester ws right-- a dollap of sour cream complimented the spiciness.

So far I've had two soups: the parsnip soup. DELICIOUS! (I wouldn't lie to you since we ran into the Shoprite parking lot)?
I also had the Thai Soup! Wonderful and VERY filling!! The chicken chili is still defrosting. There WAS a little mishap with the garlic soup. I SO wanted it but after I took it out of the microwave I tripped and it went all over my floor (by my fridge; even IN the fridge). At least I'll be vampire-free for a few days. Please-- I'd like to know what people thought of my Curried Pumpkin soup. In hindsight, it seems a little boring given the wonderful soups we swapped.

Yum, yum! I hadn't tried any of my soups yet, but I had a delicious bowl of chicken chili today for lunch - it was great, and I had a spoonful of sour cream on top, it was perfect.
I've also wanted to mention that we had a very small turnout this year. My plan is to give it one more try next year, maybe with a little more advertising, and hopefully there will be a larger turnout. Enjoy your soup everyone, thanks to those who came, and I hope to see EVERYONE there in 2010!

This was my first soup swap and I think it was a wonderful success! The unfrozen Parsnip soup that I picked was still warm by the time I got home (and I took a few pit stops along the way). Definitely having THAT for dinner tonight ! And I can't wait to try the Thai soup, the garlic soup, and the chili.
It was really nice meeting you all! And special thanks to Grovester for pulling it all together! Ohhh... DO give me feedback about my Curried Pumpkin soup. I'd always like to make improvements!! ~Petrina

I'll be making a vegetarian soup this year.
I can think of nothing better than being snowed in for the weekend and cooking up a big pot of Garlic Soup. Perfect with croutons made out of homemade bread. Fraulein, I hope you'll join us this year!

Just be glad I didn't start a new THREAD entitled, "Soup Swap in Jersey City - Does Anyone Know of One?" Cause that would have been really stupid....
It sounds fun, thanks for the info....however repetitive, boring, annoying it is for you more seasoned JC Listers/soup swappers to have to re-live...may god have mercy on my soul

We haven't participated in this, but my fiancee loves to cook and we'd be interested - can someone explain how it works (how much to make, etc.)? Thanks!

Any news on the location of this year's Soup Swap? I made 4 quarts of Curried Pumpkin soup on New Year's Day. My freezer is at FULL capacity! I'm supposed to get word on the room this week. I'll post as soon as I know for sure. Looking forward to some Curried Pumpkin!

Time to pick a date for The Great Jersey City SOUP SWAP 2009.
The national soup swap is Saturday January 24, 2009 but we in Jersey City have traditionally been Sunday afternoon swappers. Thus, I'd suggest Sunday, January 25, 2009. Any objections or suggestions otherwise?

AvantiGroup - GREAT job on the Pumpkin Soup! We had it last night with some Chardonnay, bread, steamed veggies and Piave cheese. It rocks! Very generous of you to share the recipe with us - grazie mille!

Oh, man. We had salmon in our fridge to eat last night, but then we were feeling lazy and had a White Star craving, so we ordered burgers, now we'll have to eat the salmon tonight.
Maybe I should follow Avanti's lead and bring some soup to my office. Thanks again to everyone who participated, and to the mysterious stranger who stopped by with a donation to the soup pantry. Thanks for another successful soup swap, I hope I'll see everyone again in 09!

Yeah, I dug into the chili last night. I've got the split pea at my office and the chicken w/ mole, black bean & rice waiting at home. The white bean with shrimp smells great and that won't last long, either. Hey, enjoy my pumpkin soup, 4bailey!

Today's the day! SOUP SWAP 08!
Fair warning! You have about seven-and-a-half hours right now to stir up some soup and get it in your freezer. Otherwise, you might regret missing it! Hope to see everyone then!
