description: The Soup and Bread Cookbook aims to explore the social role of soup through a collection of terrific affordable recipes from food activists chefs and others. This quirky exploration of the cultural history of soup as a tool for both building community and fostering social justice is the result of a brainstorm: eating your way through a pot of soup day after day can get boring  why not get together and swap some with friends? Now neighbors across the country are getting together regularly for home-based soup swaps. In Chicago the arts collective InCUBATE uses soup as a microfunding tool. And of course soup can be a political statement: the radical volunteers of Food Not Bombs have been providing free vegetarian soup to the hungry as a protest against war and social injustice since 1980. These are just a few examples of the stories Bayne wraps around a collection of delicious accessible and tested soup recipes.
