For every portion sold, 50p will be donated to Cook for Good – a not-for-profit organisation with a mission to make a difference. The goal is to raise funds for the social enterprise while offering great-tasting and nutritious soups.
Based in King’s Cross, Cook for Good runs programmes to connect local residents and businesses. These include a soup café, food pantry, cookery classes and community meals.
Adam Thomason, culinary director at Restaurant Associates, said: "The Soup for Good book has been an inspiring project. It shines a light on seasonal vegetables and reducing food waste, which are key to today’s culinary world.
“Our chefs have contributed a recipe full of flavour, nutrition, and creativity. It’s wonderful to now bring these soups to our guests. Every portion sold supports a fantastic cause while delivering a great dining experience. It’s food with purpose."
Restaurant Associates says it is proud to have supported Cook for Good since 2022 with chef Dan Batten teaching residents essential cooking skills as well as supporting their new Soup for Good recipe book, which contains 50 recipes.
Karen Mattison, chief executive of Cook for Good, added: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Restaurant Associates to bring our gorgeous Soup for Good soups to their restaurants. We know that sitting together to share a warm, nourishing bowl of food really brings people together.
“It’s at the heart of what we do at Cook for Good, through our food pantry and community kitchen. And as Restaurant Associates are giving us a donation for every soup sold, we’ll be able to work even harder to tackle food insecurity and social isolation.”
