Beat the heat this July with a big bowl of soup.
For their next Soup Take-out Fundraiser on Wednesday, July 9, the Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God are offering gazpacho – a cold Spanish soup made with blended tomatoes, bell peppers and other vegetables. For those who prefer their soup served hot, the Sisters are also offering wedding soup and fresh cauliflower cheddar soup. Each soup is $5 a quart, which comes with two dinner rolls.
Orders must be placed no later than Thursday, July 3 at 412-885-7232 or info@osfprov.org. Soup orders can be picked up on Wednesday, June 9 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Sisters' Motherhouse, located at 3603 McRoberts Road in Pittsburgh's South Hills.
The Sisters host monthly takeout fundraisers throughout the year, where patrons can choose from three homemade soup selections each month. Using fresh ingredients, Chef Doug Brannock prepares healthier versions of soup by omitting additional salt. Wedding, their most popular soup, is offered every month with two other rotating seasonal selections. The soup menu is available on the events page of the Sisters website, www.osfprov.org, or by calling 412-885-7232.
Soup patrons looking for unique gifts may visit the Sisters' Gift Shoppe, which is open during take out pick-up, as well as weekdays from 1 – 3 p.m. Items offered include jewelry and accessories, Steelers themed gifts, baby items, holiday decorations, kitchen accessories, and unique items, like hand crocheted scrubbers.
Franciscan Blend fair trade coffee is also available at the Motherhouse and sold during Soup pick-up. Franciscan Blend is $9.99 for a 12oz bag. Coffee selection includes Regular, Chocolate-Cherry, Hazelnut and French Vanilla. Decaffeinated versions of the regular and hazelnut are also available. All proceeds from soup, coffee and craft sales benefit the Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God.
