I met a lovely group of food activists at an organic farmers conference  in Texas, and one of them introduced me to the Soup Swap concept.  It  goes like this: you cook up a big ole pot of soup, enough for several  quarts, and package the soup in your quart size containers. ( And if you  don't have any quart size containers, come to my house because they are  seriously taking over.  No joke, I have, like, 50 of 'em and I think  they are planning a mutiny because I shove them in this overcrowded draw  with all manner of plastic tupperware-like things, and the conditions  are horrible.  I mean, overcrowded, dirty, dark, dank, you name it.  I  don't know how long these guys are gonna hold out - it's a travesty of  justice and somebody needs to do something.)
