Game, set, MATCH! 🎾🏆

While the tennis stars were making history at the Cincinnati Open, another huge win was taking place behind the scenes. Thanks to Levy Restaurant Group, La Soupe rescued a massive 14,456 pounds of surplus food from the tournament! 🍋🍈🥕

From fresh citrus and ginger to hearty staples, this food will be transformed into delicious, ready-to-eat meals for our community. A huge thank you to Levy Restaurant Group, the Cincinnati Open, and the Lindner Family Tennis Center for joining us in the fight against food waste and food insecurity!

An unforgettable evening leaves a lasting taste.

Last year’s 10th Anniversary celebration showed us the magic of a shared table—sweeping rows of long, communal seating stretching across the room, candlelight, vibrant conversation, and an extraordinary multi-course meal brought to life by our master chefs.

This fall, we are bringing that same spirit back.

Introducing GATHER: an invitation to pull up a chair and join the community. On October 1st, we will come together at TQL Stadium’s First Financial Club for another inspiring evening where fine dining meets purpose, and rescued ingredients are transformed into culinary art.

Watch the video to relive the magic, then secure your place with us.

A chef without their favorite spice is like an artist without their paint. 🧑‍🍳✨

Our kitchen team turns rescued ingredients into incredible, high-quality meals every single day. But ask any of our chefs, and they’ll tell you: the magic is all in the seasoning.

Hit play to see which spices our chefs rely on most to make La Soupe meals shine!

Want to help us keep these recipes top-tier? We're currently looking to restock our spice lineup with:
Granulated Garlic & Onion
Paprika & Smoked Paprika
Cumin & Chili Pepper
Dried Tarragon
Ground Pepper

Got a spare, or want to drop off a fresh jar? Swing by or reach out—every single bottle helps us keep things delicious.

"I have so many friends who want to volunteer, but they just don’t know where to start.”

This sentiment is all too common, and we understand why. Simply put, taking the plunge and signing up for a solo slot can feel daunting.

Fortunately, La Soupe offers a simple solution for those who want the safety in numbers: group volunteer experiences.

Recently, employees from P.L. Marketing, a Northern Kentucky company that provides merchandising and operational services for Kroger, worked together to assemble 1,054 ready-to-eat meals for those facing food insecurity in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

With chef guidance, two dozen hands produced enough servings to feed more than 2,000 people in under three hours. Comprising rescued protein, vegetables, and starch, these packages include two servings per container and follow our time-tested blueprint for accessible nutrition.

From friends to families to colleagues, even the smallest teams make a tremendous impact at La Soupe. For additional details about group volunteering sessions, including corporate bonding opportunities, please contact our team at [email protected].

Every great meal tells a story, and around here, that story isn't complete without a little comfort.

While our chefs carefully balance every plate with the brightness of fresh veggies and the sizzle of quality proteins, we all know who the real crowd-pleaser is.

The starch. The anchor. The comfort food champion.🥔

Whether sliced into hearty soupes or roasted to golden perfection, potatoes turn good food into a truly satisfying meal for our neighbors. Today, we’re tipping our hats to the quiet backbone of the kitchen.

Happy National Potato Day! What’s your ultimate way to eat them? 👇
