National Soup Month celebrates soup throughout January, inviting people to enjoy a warm, versatile meal during the winter. Soups can be clear or thick, hot or cold, and sweet or savory, with countless combinations of ingredients and flavors.
The month’s origins are reported differently. Campbell Soup Company’s food-service site says January was designated National Soup Month in 1984, while another account describes it as a Campbell’s promotional campaign begun in 1986. The celebration is sometimes described as unofficial, but its focus remains simple: appreciate soup and find enjoyable ways to serve it.
How to Observe National Soup Month
Celebrate by making your favorite soup, trying a new variety, or preparing a large batch to enjoy later. Invite friends or family to a soup tasting, exchange homemade soups with neighbors, or share a bowl with someone who could use a warm meal. Leftovers can be refrigerated for later in the week or frozen for another day.
