CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Corpus Christi’s annual Souper Bowl brought community members together Thursday night to sample soups from local restaurants and support hunger relief and arts programming.
Attendees sampled a variety of soups — ranging from tomato basil to roasted poblano with smoked duck — before casting gold coin votes for their favorites.
Each ticket included a bowl for guests to take home, with additional bowls available for purchase.
Organizers say the event raises about $40,000 each year. The funding helps provide roughly 80,000 meals through the Coastal Bend Food Bank and supports year-round programming at the Art Center of Corpus Christi.
“Providing funding, programming at the Art Center allows the community to be in touch with art,” said Joanna Pitman with the Art Center. “We really allow people that are missing out on getting that art education or missing out on a creative outlet to have that available to them.”
