Soup & Bread starts December 2 at the Hideout! 1354 W. Wabansia in Chicago, 5:30-8 pm.
13 Nov 2026
Soup & Bread returns to the Hideout December 2 for another winter of soup and sociability: can you believe we've been doing this for 19 years?
Launched in 2009, in the midst of the recession, Soup & Bread has been bringing people together for casual, pay-what-you-can meals of soup and bread every winter (with, OK, a little break there in 2020-21). Through these meals we have raised more than $120,000 in donations for Chicago-area food pantries and mutual aid groups, and aim to scoot that number even higher this year. (And with our 20th anniversary just around the corner, we're already cooking up big plans for 2028.)
So join us on the soup line the first Wednesday of the month, December through April. for an evening of soup and bread prepared by some of Chicago's best professional and amateur cooks. Here's the full schedule:
December 2
January 6
February 3
March 3
April 7
All events are at the Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia, in Chicago, from 5:30-8 pm. Kids are welcome with parent or guardian. Pay-what-you-can donations go to local food pantries and hunger relief organizations.
Want to get involved? We are always looking for soup cooks! See our FAQ here, and reach out to Martha at [email protected] to get on the schedule. We aim to have between 6 and 8 soup cooks each week, and a spectrum of soups for all tastes and diets. We also welcome donations of bread, cookies, and other baked goods.
See soupandbread.net for updates and more information. You can also follow us on Instagram @soupbreadchi or join the Soup & Bread Facebook group.
We've missed you, but we'll see you soon!

PS: Our Soup & Thread community sewing project is dormant but not forgotten! We hope to host some more sewing bees in 2027 as well, so watch this space for details.

I am riding the razors edge these days. Between the ongoing horrors of the world (do I need to itemize them?) and some personal stressors I am not, as they say, my best self. I’m irritable, morbid, and weepy and I’m sorry to those who have to deal with me. I’ve been escaping into beautiful and/or furious music to cope, and it does actually remind me that I’m not alone. The other thing that reminded me of that was going to vote today, chatting with the poll workers and speculating grimly as to whose bright idea it was to do road work outside the polling place all week. Everything’s compromised, even the damn parking, but I’m not giving up yet and I hope you don’t either.

I’m going to New York to see this show on Thursday. It’s costing an arm and a leg but how could I not? It's like my entire life collapsed into one modern dance event. As strong as the Sinéad pull of it is, I’m also of course excited by the focus on older dancers, in all their power and beauty. That it is taking place at the theater where I worked when I was so very young, as I was just coming into my own selfhood, is the icing on top. It was lovely to be included in this preview piece by @roslyn.sulcas @nytimes.

I hope you’ll forgive the product placement on this, the three year anniversary of her death. I’m so proud of the ways our book continues to ripple through the world. Link in bio!
