Wednesday soup lunches





As I write this, I am savouring the sweet aroma of soups in their various stages of preparation. In terms of BISC, Wednesday lunches are the busiest. On an average we get about 60 students coming through our doors. However recently we had over 70 students and other international visitors. This is the day when there is an aroma around BISC of mushrooms, tomatoes and onions all cooking together to make soups. My favourite is French onion soup. Due to health reason I have to avoid soups that contain cream, just as I have to avoid cream on Mondays! This would make life terribly dull if it wasn’t for the wonderful BISC team and students. Hannah and Xiaomei are usually busy in the kitchen on Wednesdays together with volunteers from the international student population and local volunteers namely Rhona, Jacqueline, Sue and not least, Pat. This BISC Wednesday lunches are probably the cheapest lunches in Bristol. Where would you pay £2.00 for as many bowls of soup you may care to eat? Don’t forget, you can get the ingredients for all the soups from the BISC office. Why not have a soup dinner at home and invite the BISC Team!
