Yum!

Some soups ready to be swapped!
 

Adventures while souping

Soup exchange needs three things: soup, friends and a venue.

Last soup exchange, we had the first two. But a venue was a bit harder to find...

Annie, her friend Andrew, myself and Nicky met at The Lincoln, in Carlton. But it was closed due to a function. What to do?

So we wandered down the dark quiet streets seeking the comforts of a warm pub.

Aha! Spotted! A pub. We approached, and through the door Nicky asked "Are you open?"

"Sorry we're closed for renovations" said the publican.

Foiled!

And so on we wandered. Over hill, under dale, etc etc.

A third pub was spotted. Would we have any luck this time?

Yes, it was open!

And quiet. Except for the roadies setting up for the metal gig that night. And the quiet, yet easy-going bartender.

Check it out: Demonium, Malice's Wake, Annihilation and Abrasion - all on the one gig!

Definitely a unique venue for 4 friends to swap soup in. Particularly since none of us had a black t-shirt on, and not a tattoo between us. Just discussion of osso bucco and thai prawn soup. And explaining how this whole soup exchange thing worked to Andrew and Nicky.

We didn't stay for the gig.

Any takers?

Did you buy one of these in the end Annie?

A soup spirit. Maybe.

Soup puns!

Lish, our Soupofficial, wants to set free the puns of soup. It will give her peas of mind, and so I won't beet around the borsch.

Hopefully Mother Souperior will have puns too... even stock standard ones...

Miso excited!

Add your puns...

Soup Exchange, Sunday May 13

Annie, your Chestnut soup was splendid and all your effort in making it is appreciated. I would love to get the recipe.

Damien, your borshch is for lunch tomorrow. Can hardly wait...

The story so far...

Lovely Lish set up soup exchange in Melbourne.

We have been souping since October 06, at pubs around Fitzroy and Brunswick.

All friends welcome to join.


Here are Jo, Jen, Ed and Lish at the Pumphouse.
