Yeah that sounds about right. I’m in FL and when we do hotel potlucks it’s the same vibe, lighter soup so people don’t get food coma at their desk lol. More veggies, smaller pasta, and easing up on the spice makes it way more approachable for coworkers who’ve never had it. Slow cooker is a lifesaver too, keeps it warm without babysitting it. Still feels like soup joumou, just work-appropriate.
