Voting begins for Round One on January 2, and we’re kicking off with Cup Soups.
The remaining three categories will have their matchups over the next three days.
Then we’ll take the weekend to rest up before voting for Round Two the week of January 8.
Then the remaining rounds take place over the next two weeks, culminating with the championship on January 23.
We’ll be updating this page with results throughout the contest.
So, are you inspired to make some soup?
like tell us what you think by leaving a rating and reviewreal people read them (really!
), and we use your feedback to continually improve our recipes.
And these soups are just as flavor-packed as their long-simmered cousins.
We had our first ever tie in Round 2!
Think: taking the flavors of stuffed cabbage or lasagna and turning it into a soup.
The Winner
We hope you enjoyed this year’s Souper Bowl!
The process started all the way back in August, when it was too hot to think about soup.
Our team met to decide which types of recipes we wanted to feature in this years bracket.
After that, the EatingWell Test Kitchen team came up with dozens of ideas for us to choose from.
We picked the finalists, and our culinary team started development, keeping in mind EatingWellsnutrition guidelines.
Soup can be tricky to fit into our guidelines, particularly when it comes to sodium.
Once the recipes are developed, our food editors review them to suggest any changes before theyre cross-tested.
This is when someone other than the person who developed the recipe makes the recipe.
This step is really important to ensure that the recipe will work at home for you too!
They also use alternative ingredients mentioned in the ingredient list to verify the end result is still delicious.
And if the cross-tester finds any issues, theyll work through them until theyre happy with the final results.
Once the recipes are finalized, they take a trip to one of our two photo studios.
