LONELINESS
We felt dissatisfied and disconnected in how we related to our friends, our community, our world, and even ourselves.
REIMAGINING
Our interactions with others often felt rushed, shallow, and performative. How could we slow down and build relationships of depth and honesty?

And we needed a meal that could feed as many mouths as possible without breaking the bank...
The people who came to our house each week to reimagine community kept raving about it. "People would buy this soup!" our friend Stanley said. We liked that idea, but we didn't just want to sell soup and make some money, we wanted
to make soup to share and build community!
To love others we must love ourselves. We seek to run the business in a way that is sustainable for our own flourishing and relate to others in a way that they can also flourish.

The soup is made to share. Use it as a tool for meaningful storytelling and connection while nourishing your body.
Like we can be estranged from people, we can be estranged from our land. Coop's Soups sources from local farmers and small food businesses to relate to and care for where we live.
We view the practices of sharing, preparing, and growing food as encounters with the Divine presence. In being present with our food and with others, we open ourselves up to an intimacy with God's love.
