Food for the Soul

A warm bowl of soup can be transformational. Just ask Chef Suzy DeYoung, the founder of La Soupe.

Since 2014, the local non-profit has rescued & transformed hundreds of thousands of pounds of food waste into delicious creations, not only extending the shelf life of local produce, but changing lives through it.

Recently, we chatted with DeYoung about La Soupe’s mission, what’s on their Fall menu (plus, a few of her tips to make your meals fab), and her visit this past Summer with the one and only, Jacques Pépin!

This encounter will forever hold a special place in my heart as I expressed how profoundly Pepin influenced my career and life despite him not knowing me.
