Oh, soups! Otago Humble Society of University Pot Stirrers (OHSOUPS) aims to bring students together to stir the pot and share the humble joys and gospel of soup. Shaped by feminist values, we strive to recognize the dignity of wanting -- not just the requirements of need -- through playful, joyful, soup-empowered acts of provision and care.(1) As a community collective, we aim to celebrate the many possibilities and conditions of soup, create democratic and accessible meal opportunities, prevent food waste, and nourish students across Otākou Whakaihu Waka with flair. We welcome anyone interested in the joys of soup. Our goal is to organise fun social events, kai-sharing opportunities, and create a supportive space where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
