Souper Saturday - Make it Souper Soup Bowls

# ✨ A Special Invitation to Soup Angels ✨

## Prep Day for Souper Sunday: The Launch of Our Make‑It‑Souper Soup Bowls

For years I poured my heart into cooking for people from every walk of life. Then life shifted — dizziness and health challenges made it harder to stand in a professional kitchen, but they didn’t take away my passion for feeding people. If anything, they sharpened it.
What started as driving around to feed our homeless neighbors and their animals grew into Wednesdays Angels, which the community soon began calling Soup Angels — because soup became our love language. From there came Souper Saturday, a lifeline that helped us keep up with the growing need for warm, nourishing meals.
And now, the next evolution of that dream is here.

# 🌱 Make‑It‑Souper Soup Bowls: A New Way to Nourish

Week after week, guests asked for a little extra protein… a scoop of rice… a spoonful of beans… something to make their bowl feel more like their bowl. That’s when it clicked.
Why not give everyone the freedom to build their own natural‑food paradise?
Our Make‑It‑Souper Soup Bowls celebrate the ingredients that truly nourish us — fresh produce, wholesome grains, and clean proteins — the foods that help us feel better, live better, and fight for our health one bowl at a time.

# 🍲 Calling All Soup Angels — I Need Your Hands and Hearts

To bring this vision to life, I’m inviting the Soup Angels family to join me for a special prep gathering.
📍 Location: Chef Irvin’s home in Lakewood 📅 Date: Saturday, February 7, 2026 ⏰ Time: 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Together, we’ll prepare the ingredients that make these magical bowls possible — the same bowls that will feed families, seniors, homeless neighbors, and pet owners who rely on Soup Angels for a better way to eat when hunger hits.
