Winter is almost here, which means The Soup Kitchen is back to warm our insides and lift our spirits with hearty and delicious soups.
One of the highlights of the year at Macquarie for many – The Soup Kitchen will be selling takeaway soup with bread throughout the winter, kicking off on Monday 20 May.
“The Soup Kitchen proves to be a big hit with students, staff and visitors to the university every year,” says Housien Koussan, Head Chef, Campus Services. “We’re pleased to be creating wholesome, nutritious food again this winter, offering variety, convenience and exceptional value for money.”
The menu for the first week of the Soup Kitchen is below, and each week’s menu will be posted on the Macquarie University Campus Facebook page on Monday mornings.

I have been loving the soups so far. The bread is just scrumptious!
I have questions about the display next to the soup stall.
There is s wheelbarrow with edible vegetables on it.
Are those vegetables used or are they just for display and discarded when they rot?
If they are just for display and are discarded afterwards then is it really necessary to have that display?
Hello and thank you for your comment. We’d like to assure you that the produce in the wheel barrow is used in the production of the soups and vegetable and salad dishes the Staff Cafe prepares on a daily basis.
And for those of us who don’t use Facebook….?
We’re told there will be a webpage up soon – if you’d like to give us your name we can email you the link when it’s live.
