SOUP is not about pushing a brand, a trend, an issue, a product, or a business strategy. SOUP is not a topical event where we sit in circles of like-minded individuals who want just art, or ranching, or conservation, or technology, or small businesses to succeed. It is convening all of these previously siloed people together and having a conversation about what matters.  -Why and How to Soup
