Soup Club

"I was so impressed with how many soups were original. They’re all vegan, most are grain-free, and it just blew my mind. My eyes have been opened to soups."

Chelsea, mom of two

"Soup club gave me the opportunity to bring a different soup to work each week to easily eat at my desk. As a teacher and a mom of two, it was priceless to know that I was eating healthy, hearty, delicious soups to keep me going! The variety of recipes, ingredients and flavors were exciting, and I looked forward to my weekly soups!"

Lorin, educator and mom

"Caroline redefines the category of soup for this family that loves to cook and eat. It’s a paradigm shift, and we’re grateful that she’s introduced us to the textures and flavors that make up what has become a year-round staple in our lives."

Ryan and Taylor, parents of toddler soup-lover

"The soups are all delicious! The variety of ingredients, spices, and flavors are different from what we usually eat; they’ve opened us up to different flavor profiles and made my picky eater willingly branch out."

Jessie, mother of a kindergartner and bona fide picky eater

"I stomp my feet and hoot with delight over a good soup, and Caroline’s recipes always deliver. My family doesn’t share my soup joy, so I look at these bright and creative recipes as a shortcut to satisfying self-care."

Tessa, mom of two

"Caroline’s soup is part of our family’s Sunday lunch ritual. It’s an amazing feeling to be able to give our kids something that’s chock-full of veggies, exploding with flavor, and completely unique. I love that Caroline has a way of taking soup to a different level. She takes creative twists on traditional favorites and wrings deliciousness out of some vegetables that get a bad rap."

Dan and Janet, founding members and parents of two happy soup eaters

"As a lifelong red meat lover, I was skeptical of the idea of having a vegan soup for a meal. Caroline has made me a believer. Her soups are healthy, creative, filling, and always delicious. She has perfected familiar favorites and has introduced our family, including our 2-year old daughter, to many new flavors and pairings. It is simply great."

Bradley, sporty dad of a toddler

"Having unique, fresh, tasty soup waiting for me in the fridge is what I love about Soup Club, and then enjoying it at suppertime! I love to cook and try new recipes and appreciate the dedication it takes to stay inspired and curious."

McKenna, eco-conscious mother of two and longtime soup fan

"I love that Caroline uses ingredients I’ve never had before and that her recipes harken to other cultures and countries. Sometimes I look at the soup’s description and details and am unsure if I’ll like it, but after heating it up, I discover it’s like a party of flavors in my mouth! It’s definitely happened more than once!"

Joyce, retiree and soup enthusiast

"It’s an integral part of our week. Feels like a ritual, like going to the Farmer’s Market."

Lee, high-powered working professional and mom of three

"I no longer have to plan, make, stress about bringing enough food to work for lunches. It makes my day so much easier to not have to worry about it, know that it is healthy, and all I need to do is heat it up. I feel cared for, like opening my lunch box that my parents assembled when I was young. I am so grateful to be in Soup Club."

Lindsey, educator and soup lover

"I do all of the cooking at my house – and I love it, don’t get me wrong – but being in Soup Club in a way is an act of self-care that brings me a lot of contentment. Maybe it is the association with soup as a nourishing meal that a (my) mother made for me when I was sick, or on cold Colorado winter days as a warm-up. It feels like love."

Patty, working mom with teenage children

"Soup Club feels like a wonderful community, and I love the soup origin stories. It makes me feel connected to the soup without having to make it myself. It definitely eases the lunchtime burden at least once or twice each week."

Sarah, busy mom of two with zero time to spare

The Story

Soup is healing. This is not new information. Caroline’s journey to becoming a soup lady was a process of being a lot of other things first: a maker of food, a writer of books, a storyteller, a mother, a dreamer, an artist, a gatherer of friends in need of a good party and a good meal. When she became a cancer patient in 2017, the soup that was left on her porch by strangers when she was recovering from brain surgery worked some kind of magic on her, altered her DNA like any good superhero origin story. It flowed through her veins and took over her mind, wielding the powers of her past to make curious soups all her own. She started to leave it on friends’ porches, and it was then that Caroline noticed that her soup mania was contagious, with side effects to include not only the healing she had experienced herself, but also silliness, joy, and community. This is also the story of how Soup Club came to be. See what soup madness—classes, soup stands, soup parties—Caroline is up to right now >
