Our tried and true SUBSCRIPTION is great for folks who want to set it and forget it, and love to be surprised each week! Order once to secure your spot and then you're guaranteed soup and bread each week for the subscription, which can be picked up at a variety of locations in Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, Carrboro and Durham. Subscriptions are offered year round, and registration opens two weeks prior to the start of a new subscription.

No matter how you get our soups, rest assured it's the same great soup you've come to love -- inspired flavors using NC-grown produce and wholesome ingredients, making the most of each season however short it may be.
This rustic pesto is an inspired twist on the original. Pecans sub for pine nuts. Kale and rosemary sub for the basil. To make the pesto, we toast the pecans, bringing out their buttery flavor, and blanch the kale to keep it as green as possible, then blend them with rosemary, garlic, parmesan, olive oil and salt to a rustic consistency.
Produce is sourced from New Communities, Faithfull Farm and Burch Farm.
We are sourcing the pecans for this pesto from New Communities, a black-run grassroots organization and land trust based on the Cypress Pond Plantation in southwest GA. For more than 40 years they have worked to empower black families and advocate for social and racial justice. Read more about their history here. New Communities farms 800 acres, including a once-neglected pecan orchard.
6oz frozen container. For best flavor: eat within 2 weeks of defrosting
