About Stone Soup Culinary Creations
Stone Soup Culinary Creations is a high-end catering company specializing in seasonally available menu selections with professionally trained staff. It is named after a fable in which hungry strangers bring a community together by convincing the people of a town to each share a small amount of their food in order to make a meal that everyone could enjoy. As an ingredient of the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Stone Soup embodies the idea of coming together to help others.
From elaborate weddings to backyard barbecues, Stone Soup does it all. The catering team, lead by Executive Chef Paul Kapner, includes classically trained chefs and Food Service Training Academy students, providing those in need of a second chance with real world experience.
