They say soup is good for the soul.
Whether it’s cold outside or a student needs a pick-me-up, soup is a go to option that provides both comfort and a solution to hunger.
Art soup is a service started by Art professor Monika Ramirez-Wee to feed students who are hungry between classes. She makes the soup herself, and Food Forward, a nonprofit organization, donates the fruits and vegetables.
Students can help themselves to a bowl every Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. up on the Art Hill in front of room 3302.
