Episode 6: New Year, New Soup

from Souper Friends · host Eli Wilson

In the first episode of 2026, Josh and Eli join in the celebration of National Soup Month!  Where did this holiday come from, and why do we celebrate it to this day?  What does any of this have to do with unhinged racist rants about bioengineered meats and poor people?  All this plus more sordid tales from the soup crime files in this episode's edition of Soup News.  Then on the history front, find out what an acclaimed Japanese chef has in common with gas stations in the American south, and how a complicated colonial history led to a Haitian new year soup.
