Seattle Sister Cities Soup Sampling, Jan. 18, 2025

On Saturday, January 18th (National Soup Swap Day!) from 1-3pm, SPSCA participated in the first ever Seattle Sister Cities Soup Sampling. We served Zuppa di lenticchie, a hearty vegetarian lentil soup often found on Umbrian tables in wintertime, made by member volunteers. The soup sampling was a pilot project aimed at introducing the Seattle public to our sister city organizations and the culinary cultures of our sister cities. This free community event drew some 300 attendees, 50% more than projected! Other sister cities participating represented Cambodia, Cameroon, Indonesia, Israel, Hungary, Kenya, and New Zealand. Many thanks to our dedicated volunteers who helped us celebrate Italian culture through sharing the foundational meal of soup.
