BETHLEHEM, PA—Warm up your winter and join ArtsQuest for a “souper” tasty fundraiser as more than 20 Lehigh Valley chefs bring their best creations to SteelStacks’ annual Souper Bowl Jan 27. Sample everything from savory classics like Beer Belly Bisque and Clam & Chorizo Chowder to the daring flavors of Crème Brûlée and Kefir Yogurt Fig soups.

General admission tickets are $30 for ArtsQuest Members and $35 for the public; VIP tasting tickets for the 11-noon VIP session are sold out!

During Souper Bowl, which takes place from noon-3 p.m., the public can taste all of the delicious soups presented by restaurants and caterers from throughout the region.

In addition, a panel of judges will sample all the soups and award the best entries in six different categories including Vegetarian, Seafood-Based, Cream-Based, Meat-Based, Ethnic and Most Original.
