Food Depot’s Souper Bowl is one of our signature fundraising events. After careful consideration and surveying over 150 previous attendees, leadership has made the difficult decision to cancel what would have been Souper Bowl XXVI, aka The Food Depot’s 27th soup-based fundraising event for January 2022. Historically the event has raised enough money for over 220,000 meals in event proceeds. Without this event, we miss an important fundraising event on our calendar. We would be honored if you would consider making a $35 donation in the value of an event ticket.
The Food Depot’s food costs are up 136% this fiscal year over the pre-pandemic period. We know that the rising food costs, along with fuel, are hard-hitting on the people we serve. The Food Depot holds the health of employees, volunteers, and people we serve in the highest regard. Unfortunately, there are too many unknowns and considerations related to COVID variants for an indoor wintertime event that historically has had over 1,000 attendees. We care about you and the people we serve. We look forward to the return of Souper Bowl this time of year in 2023.

The Food Depot Celebrates its 26th Souper Bowl!
Please join us in celebrating this beloved culinary fundraiser at the Santa Fe Convention Center. Your attendance can help make a difference for those in need in our community.
Last year, over 220,000 meals were served to our New Mexican neighbors in need thanks to the generosity of people like you, who supported this event.
Get ready to sample unlimited mouth-watering soups from 24 of your favorite local chefs as they compete for best soup in four categories—Cream, Savory, Seafood, and Vegetarian—plus the coveted “Best Soup” category.
Purchase VIP Tasting tickets to experience unlimited soup sampling without the lines one hour ahead of the public event.
Voting closes at 2 p.m. when guests are welcome to further their impact by purchasing $5 takeout containers to fill with any leftover soup. Winners are announced before the event ends.
Local businesses join in Souper Bowl as in-kind and financial sponsors. Culinary experts donate their skill, talent and staff time — plus hundreds of gallons of soup. They are the reason why this event is not only possible, but successful, and The Food Depot’s primary annual fundraiser. We are incredibly grateful for their support.
