New flavors have been added to the menu for the next Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God Soup Takeout Fundraiser on Wednesday, May 14. Chef Doug Brannock has perfected recipes for matzo ball chicken soup and roasted eggplant bisque, which will be offered along with the popular wedding soup for $5 a quart with 2 dinner rolls.
Orders must be placed no later than Thursday, May 8 at 412-885-7232 or info@osfprov.org. Soup orders can be picked-up on Wednesday, May 14 from 3 – 6 p.m. at the Sisters' Motherhouse, located at 3603 McRoberts Road in Pittsburgh's South Hills.
The Sisters host monthly takeout fundraisers throughout the year, where patrons can choose from three homemade soup selections each month. Using fresh ingredients, Chef Brannock prepares healthier versions of soup by omitting additional salt. Wedding, their most popular soup, is offered every month with two other rotating seasonal selections. The soup menu is available on the events page of the Sisters website, www.osfprov.org, or by calling 412-885-7232.
Soup patrons looking for unique gifts may visit the Sisters' Gift Shoppe, which is open during takeout pick-up, as well as weekdays from 1 – 3 p.m. Items offered include jewelry and accessories, Steelers-themed gifts, baby items, holiday decorations, kitchen accessories, and unique items, like hand crocheted scrubbers.
Franciscan Blend fair trade coffee is also available at the Motherhouse and sold during soup pick-up. Franciscan Blend is $9.99 for a 12oz. bag. Coffee selection includes regular, chocolate-cherry, hazelnut and french vanilla. Decaffeinated versions of the regular and hazelnut are also available. All proceeds from soup, coffee and craft sales benefit the Sisters of St. Francis of the Providence of God.
