Soup & Bread is a free weekly soup dinner to benefit hunger relief efforts across Chicago.

Each week we round up a handful of Hideout staff and regulars, plus local musicians, writers, artists, and professional cooks to donate pots of homemade soup. We heat them up in crock pots and serve them up, along with fresh bread and the occasional muffins, pie, or cookies. All are welcome, and we serve till the soup runs out or the late-night jazz guys kick us out. It's a low-key way to get folks out of the house and socializing in the dead of darkest winter -- because at times these past few years it's seemed the entire city could use a nice hot bowl of soup. There's no cover and kids are welcome, but we accept donations (pay-what-you-can), all of which go to support neighborhood food pantries and soup kitchens.

Soups from:
Mana Food Bar, Peasants Plot Sustainable Farm, Eat My Words blogger Gillian McLennan, Stephanie Beyne, Soup & Bread Cookbook editor Alison True, and at least two others

DJ: Hideout talent buyer Michael Slaboch
All donations benefit Lakeview Pantry
