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 26. Sample everything from outstanding savory recipes like mushroom soup with a truffle butternut squash puree and candied shitake mushroom, to daring sweet creations like pear ginger soup and Dominican hot chocolate.

General admission tickets are $34 for ArtsQuest Members and $39 for the public; VIP tasting tickets for the 11-noon VIP session are sold out!
During the Souper Bowl, which takes place from noon-3 p.m., the public can taste all 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.
