Hey there, time traveller!

Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch? The Big Spoon Soup Company, Winnipeg’s first mobile soup restaurant, is debuting with a splash. The food truck will be introducing itself by doling out 500 cups of free soup on Thursday from its parking spot on the corner of Portage Avenue and Edmonton Street, near the Manitoba Hydro building.
Founder Justin Strauman knows the word “vegan” can scare some diners away, but he’s hoping the chance to sample one of his truck’s meat- and dairy-free options — Thursday’s selection features corn chowder, curried cauliflower, spicy tomato basil and pho — will win them over.
Big Spoon’s recipes were developed with Winnipeg-born chef Aubrey Pingitore, who specializes in plant-based cuisine at Heirloom Restaurant in Vancouver.
Free soup will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
After the grand opening, the truck will be at Portage and Edmonton or on Broadway during lunch hours. Soup is $6.50 for a 16-ounce serving in a glass Mason jar with lid, which is the customer’s to keep. The price drops to $6 when served in a disposable takeout container.
