Behind every Nourish meal is a chef who cares about more than flavor.

Our Chicken Florentine is a good example: golden chicken, vibrant spinach, and a rich, satisfying sauce, all prepared with the health needs of our neighbors in mind. Our Nourish Program serves people living with chronic illnesses like heart conditions and diabetes, proving that eating well and eating well can go hand in hand.

Every plate is a reminder that food can be both medicine and comfort. 💚

What do you do with a harvest of odd-shaped squash, a tangle of greens, and no recipe? 🥕🍲

Join Civic Garden Center and La Soupe for a special edition of Garden Cooking Improv on Oct. 17.

This chef-led, hands-on class is for gardeners and food lovers who want to cook by method, not by recipe. You'll learn how to turn seasonal vegetables into something delicious, use the parts you'd normally toss, and cook with more creativity and confidence.

Less waste. More flavor. Food you'll feel good about eating.

📍 La Soupe, 915 E. McMillan Street, Cincinnati, OH 45206

We’re taking the day off to let our team rest up after an incredible, action-packed week! 😴✨

A massive hats off to our entire kitchen and event crew for working so hard to put on a five-course meal that was a smashing success for our guests. We couldn’t have done it without their dedication and talent!

We’ll be back open tomorrow, refreshed and ready to serve up nourishing dishes to feed our community, restock our fresh case, and whip up fresh batches of soupe.

Thank you for being the best community! ❤️

What a night! It was an absolute privilege to GATHER with so many incredible people to shine a light on food waste and food insecurity right here in our community.
Seeing the room filled with so many familiar faces, alongside so many wonderful new ones, was a powerful reminder of what happens when a community shows up for one another. Together, we pulled up a chair to our long tables and shared a spectacular five-course meal crafted by our talented chefs.

Special thanks to The Joe Burrow Foundation , which kicked off the evening with a $10k match to encourage those in the room to further donate. Jimmy and Robin Burrow inspired many other donations, with an anonymous donor adding their own $5k to extend the match to $15k! Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $45,000 in just one night.

A massive thank you to our phenomenal emcee, Kit Andrews, for keeping the evening moving and inspiring, to our culinary team for an unforgettable meal, and to every single one of you who bought a ticket, raised a glass, and gave generously.

Thank you for caring. Thank you for showing up. Together, we’re making a real difference. 💛

We rescue food on a community scale every day, but real prevention starts right at home in our own kitchens.

To wrap up Food Waste Prevention Week, here are 4 simple actions you can take today to keep food out of your trash:

Shop your fridge first: Plan meals around what you already have before heading to the grocery store.
Love your freezer: Freeze bread, chopped veggies, or leftovers before they turn. Cold storage is your best friend.

Get creative with scraps: Turn vegetable odds and ends into homemade stock, or stale bread into croutons.

Know your dates: "Best by" usually refers to quality, not safety. Give food a quick visual and smell check before tossing it out.

Small changes in our daily routines add up to tons of food saved. What is your go-to trick for reducing food waste at home? Drop your favorite tip in the comments below! 👇

Did you know the average person throws away about 1 pound of food every single day? 😳

Across the country, roughly 40% of all food waste comes directly from home kitchens.

We are working to flip that story. We rescue fresh produce, dairy, bread, and proteins before they go bad, then transform them into healthy meals. Through our network of local Share Partners, those meals go straight to neighbors facing hunger.

Your extra food does not have to go to waste. It can go to work.

🥕 Rescue food. 🍲 Cook with purpose. 🤝 Feed the community.

Hunger is a pervasive problem across the country. But according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 40% of America's food supply goes to waste every single year.

At La Soupe, we reframe “waste” as an opportunity to support not only the environment, but our broader community as well.

Our Shipping and Receiving team travels throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky every day, rescuing thousands of pounds of healthy food from the waste stream.

This Food Waste Prevention Week, we're peeling back the curtain to show you how food is processed, sorted, and weighed at our Walnut Hills storefront. From there, it moves through temperature-controlled storage so our chefs can create the freshest meals possible.

Want to help us move more food? Whether you run a local food business with surplus to donate or want to volunteer on our rescue routes, we need you. Learn more at lasoupe.org.

Every year, Food Waste Prevention Week gives us a moment to step back, look at the numbers, and refocus on the work ahead.

Each week, our team rescues 30,000 pounds of surplus food. Our chefs and volunteers then work together to transform these excess ingredients into restaurant-quality, ready-to-eat meals for those facing food insecurity in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

In our region, roughly one in five individuals experience food insecurity. Meanwhile, organic material and food waste make up over 31% of all local waste collected. According to Cincinnati Office of Environment & Sustainability, strict food waste alone accounts for nearly 12,600 tons every year.

That is 12,600 tons of food that could and should be feeding people, not sitting in a landfill.

Our supporters view every day as an opportunity to rescue more, waste less, and nourish Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky as best we can. It’s easy to join the movement: Just $5 covers the cost of a complete meal. Visit lasoupe.org/donate-now to give today and ensure delicious food reaches every neighbor who needs it.
