100 Day SOUPer Challenge- A Fabulous Way to Lose Weight, Help the Homeless and Those Who Are Hungry


The 1st 100 Day SOUPer Challenge began on the Dedication of the Basilica of St. Mary Major and St. Paris' Feast Day. It will officially end on November 13th, the Feast Day of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini.

Dear Friends and Family of Heaven's Miraculous Angelic Giving Inspirational Child, Inc.,


Recently I have become challenged with gaining weight. This was most likely due to a decline in metabolism, stress from teaching and making a huge move across the country from Arizona after my husband accepted a position in Florida. However, by the grace of God, I have come up with a creative way to shed those pounds and provide a challenge for myself and others. I LOVE challenges:)


In an effort to share my successful journey to lose weight and eat a healthier diet. I have decided to create a Pinterest Board to share Soups for the #100DaySOUPerChallenge http://pin.it/gtdPUle 

I have covered over 51 days of delicious and nutritious soups on the 100 Day SOUPer Challenge Board. My goal is to get to 100, but if I don't, you can just use each soup twice :) If you decide to give it a try, these soups will help you reach your goal. Some have recipes and others do not. 
Just think of your kitchen as a lab for creating SOUPer mixtures while you engineer your own creations.

The only advice I have is....Always use fresh vegetables and fruits and always use a lot of garlic, onion and spices:) Have fun with it! I challenge you:) #100DaySOUPerChallenge #EattheRainbow #JustDoIt


People can turn the 100 Day SOUPer Challenge into a Service-Learning activity by creating soups and serving them to people in need. Many schools actually have gardens where they grow their own vegetables and create soups for a fundraiser to riase money for others,  or to feed people less fortunate in their community.


 You can turn any idea you might have into Service-Learning. You could even create a cookbook full of your students/groups favorite SOUPer recipes and sell it to the public, in order to raise resources for others.
