Sorry folks, I made a mistake. Soup for Life day falls on May 14, not today. I’ve no idea how I mixed my dates up…

Souper souper! May 14 is Gorta’s “Soup for Life” day, a global event aimed at highlighting food insecurity and famine in the world today. Gorta is asking everyone in the island of Ireland to share a bowl of soup with family, friends, and colleagues. Darina Allen is amongst the top chefs to row in with support. Why not organise a simple meal for family, friends and colleagues? You can check out our favourite Cheap Eats soup recipes here.

Gorta is also asking restaurants to help their campaign against hunger in Africa by offering a donation of €1 for every bowl of soup purchased on the day. Click here to check out Gorta’s blog.
