Community Soup

Ok, ok, I'm breaking up the Eat the Alphabet project by doing this, but I wanted to post it.

Toby and I just got the book Community Soup by Alma Fullerton from the library.

I picked it up because I like the collage artwork, and really any story about food in Africa. It's a very short book and easy for the little'uns to follow.

What I didn't know was that, after telling a story about all the things they put in their soup, there's an actual recipe in the back!

I read the recipe to Toby and he wanted to make it right away. 

We used almond milk, but I had goat cheese so we put a few chunks of that in.

(All the peppers and cheese sank to the bottom so here it doesn't look like we put anything on top.)

It was really good!

I found it kind of thin and I like thicker soups, so if you're the same I'd recommend only using 4 cups of water/stock.

In the front it says that part of the proceeds from sales of this book go to

The Creation of Hope project.

I also want to post a link to Organics 4 Orphans, a Canadian based charity that I donate to that doesn't focus on GIVING food to communities in Africa, but instead on EDUCATING them in the subjects of farming, disease prevention through food, nutrition, and earning an income off the surplus.
They arm communities with knowledge, seeds and water to help them feed themselves.
Check them out!

And go see if your local Library has this book!

Happy Eating!!
