Fall Soup Exchange
ECNA invites you to bring your favorite fall soup or chili to share and exchange with your neighbors!
Our Fall Soup Exchange begins at 6 p.m. Bring a pot of your favorite homemade soup or chili to share, and ECNA will provide bowls, bread, and crackers to round out the meal.
Be sure to bring a few mason jars or containers, too, so you can take home some of your favorite soups to enjoy later!
No competition and no prizes, just warm bowls, new recipes, and a cozy evening with neighbors.
