In years past we have asked people to bring in their own recipes and their own crock pots for soups and chilis. Last semester this lead t0 80 crockpots that had to be cleaned...you can imagine the mess. It was also literally impossible to keep 80 crockpots hot. We had a couple people assigned to simply switch plugs every 10 minutes to keep them all hot and not blow a fuse.
This year we are going to do things a little bit different. We ask that you stick to 3 basic recipes and bring them in disposable containers. Ice cream buckets (5qt) work the best (so go buy some ice cream for your kids today). We also have gallon ziplock bags that we can give out on Sunday, or Gladware kind of things work great too.
We will post some student-favored recipes here soon for the 3 types of soup that we are going to have (Meat Chili, Vegetarian Chili, Chicken Noodle Soup). We'll also have cards on sunday for you to take home.
Because you are bringing them cold we also would love to see all the soups arrive on Sunday (may 10th) so we can get an idea hwo much we have.
More to come!

Remember that when reheatins soups, one wants to use a baine marie if possible so that the ingredients do not further break down.
