Soup, Bread & Red Wine Night

Sweaters mandatory. Bring exactly one of: a pot of soup, a good loaf, a butter or spread, or a bottle of red. The most low-effort, high-warmth format there is — perfect for a cold January.

What it's for

Answer the question of January — how do we stay connected when it’s cold, dark, and nobody wants to try — with a format that asks almost nothing.

The guest's job

Bring exactly one thing: a soup, a loaf, a butter, or a red wine. Sweater required.

The vote

Soup of the night — the one the table most wants the recipe for.

The reveal

The pot reveal: who brought what, and the two-minute story behind the recipe.

Food & drink spine

A collective table of soups, breads, and butters that the host curates but does not cook alone.

Conversation fuel

"What is the most comforting thing you have ever eaten, and who made it for you?"

How it flops — steer around it

Four minestrones and no bread. Assign the four slots — soup, loaf, butter, red — in the invite.
