Souper Bowls in Santa Fe and Albuquerque in January

We are a people of traditions. And for those of us  in the United States, the big tradition in late January-early February is to create a big event from the championship game for the National Football League. The game, known as the Super Bowl, offers an opportunity for charitable organizations (particularly food banks) around the country to raise awareness about hunger and to raise funds for their operations. Many restaurants and food-service outlets join in the effort. Our two largest food banks in New Mexico are no exception.  Here is information about the Souper Bowl in Santa Fe to benefit the Food Depot and the Souper Bowl in Albuquerque, which will support Roadrunner Food Bank.

Every January, our popular Souper Bowl is held the weekend prior to the NFL’s Super Bowl.  Rather than a football event, this is a soup and dessert sampling event featuring more than 40 restaurants and chefs.  

In addition to featuring great food, event guests can enjoy live music,  a silent auction, purchase commemorative cookbooks and much more!  Attendees also participate in our People’s Choice voting and vote for their favorite soup, vegetarian soup, dessert and booth.
