SANTA FE –€” The 21st annual Souper Bowl, presented by Beaver Toyota and The Food Depot, is at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center from noon to 2:30 p.m., on January 17, 2015.

This year’€™s event will host 29 restaurants competing for best soup in four categories: Best Cream Soup, Best Seafood Soup, Best Vegetarian Soup and Best Savory Soup — and all restaurants will compete for the title of Best Overall Soup.

Tickets are available at the event for $35 for adults, $10 for children ages 6 to 12.
