The CCHH SOUPER BOWL is no ordinary soup sale; this is an experience!

Judge Howard Sullivan will also be baking his famous bread for the Souper Bowl. What a great opportunity to find out what that restaurant's food is like that you haven't been to yet! Great for planning a wedding reception or a catered event. We give you a spoon - you do the tasting. (Click on "2012 Participating Restaurants" to see all the restaurants and their soups.)

Cast your vote for your favorite soup so the soup's chefs/restaurant may win a prize. The deserving winner will receive the CCHH Souper Bowl "golden, silver or bronze ladle award." (That's first, second and third respectively.) These esteemed awards have been designed and created by Oxford artist, Elena Marin, and are unique creations any chef would be proud to display.
