What Each Guest Should Bring
• Bring four quarts of soup
• Bring the soup in separate containers that you don’t mind giving away.
• The soup should be frozen or refrigerated.
• Swappers should also bring a separate container of soup as a taster.
How The Swap Works
• Sample the Various Soups and write down your favorites
• Draw a number, which will be the order soups are then chosen in
• The “Telling of the Soup” will be done also in order of the numbers drawn. Each chef will have an opportunity to tell a bit about the soup they made and what makes it special
• Begin picking the soup in draw order until each person has picked their first soup, and then on through 4 more rounds until each person has four new soups to go home with!
