Soup Sisters are a Calgary-based non-profit enterprise founded in 2009. They are dedicated to making a tangible difference to the lives of women and children in need. Soup Sisters believe in the power of soup and the nutrition, comfort and warmth that the gift of soup can bring. This belief has resonated quickly and profoundly with communities across Canada, who come together through their local Soup Sisters events to cook, share and donate soup, to women's shelters in their community. The Soup Sisters' growing network has over 4,500 supporters, who collectively donate over 8,000 bowls of soup every month--over 75,000 bowls of soup have been donated to date.
SHARON HAPTON is the founder of Soup Sisters. She was selected as one of Chatelaine and CityTV's Women of the Year 2011 and as a Woman of Vision 2011 by Global Television and the YWCA.
PIERRE A LAMIELLE is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York. He is the author and illustrator of Kitchen Scraps, winner of the World Gourmand Best Illustrated Cookbook Award.
