Provisional Soup Kitchen Late Fridays/ Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup


Recommended Posts

For everyone that is coming down to Peckham for the Late Fridays Exhibitions...


Provisional Soup Kitchen is a small cafe based in the front room of a tailors inside the Copeland Road Estate Park. It is run by artists and we hope to serve everyone in the community with affordable, good quality, made with love lunches based in the idea of the soup. We also have a proper coffee machine! For the last Fridays, since there will be so much activity with plenty of art openings at the estate and elsewhere -Hannah Barry Gallery, Foodface Projects, Son Gallery, Arcadia Missa and Sunday Painter- we will stay open and we will present:


Provisional Rags and Riches


Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup


Lobster soup is arguably the Gastronomic Queen Mother of all Western soups. The hedonistic combination of lobster and cognac laced with lashings of cream have graced the tables of many an art patron.


Cooked Water Soup (Aquacotta) is said to have originated in rural Tuscany before the Thomas Cook crowd fell in love with it. It is the frugal marriage of few vegetables and herbs boiled in water rendered more palatable with the addition of a bread rusk. But for all its humble ingredients, it is packed with earthy flavours and of course plenty of honesty.


Come and try both at Provisional Soup Kitchen this coming Friday from 18.00 till 22.00.

Unit 5b

Copeland Road Industrial Estate

133 Copeland Road

Peckham, London SE15 3SN

In true spirit of egalitarianism, you can have either soup for ?3.50/portion.


All Welcome!

Just to say that we went last night to the "soup kitchen" and can confirm that both the lobster soup and the Aquacotta soup were absolutely delicious. The aquacotta was packed with vegetables and herbs - I'd say it tasted of good health, but it was more interesting than that - the toasted bread it came with was excellent too. As for the lobster soup - it was good to see proper chunks of lobster in the thick creamy broth too. These soups were clearly made with love and attention - and a whole load of good well-sourced ingredients. It wasn't a surprise to hear that the chef from the deli Frog on the Green had a hand to play in the venture.


Lovely people too - I heartily recommend you wander along.

At 38 weeks that's exactly what I'm after - this thing's fully cooked and just freeloading now ... And this is a woman ready for some pate and soft cheese!

Oh well, if you're up for it, the optimum scenario is this:


Take a cab, put cabbie in blinkers and instruct him to drive up and down roads with speed humps. Meanwhile, indulge in furious sex while eating a lobster curry.


That should do it.

Thank you Bellenden Belle for such a lovely review. It was great last night, such a positive response from people! We are looking forward to doing more events like yesterday's. Other than that, we are open Mon-Fri lunchtime, 11am-3pm, catering the local community with hearty, affordable, quality soup meals and general community spirit in these dreary January days! Feel free to come by and say hello!

Hi SofiaSt

The original post named:

Provisional Soup Kitchen Late Fridays/ Lobster Soup vs Cooked Water Soup

made me think that I would be able to get a free meal from your Soup Kitchen, but now having seen that it is just an advertisement for you and no meal for the needy. it is now proof by you altering the name to;

Dr Valentines Recipes and Love Potions new

A very thoughtless Post. Posted in the wrong place go to the correct forum.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
