soup's on!
Ever wonder how much soup is cooked for the Empty Bowls Project? Though it may be hard to believe, more than 150 gallons of soup are donated each year to serve the patrons who attend Empty Bowls. That translates into 2,400 cups or 1,200 bowls of soup! And with over restaurant 30 chefs stirring their pots to make soup, we never know what we will receive…however, they are always mouth-watering and delicious!
Our chefs are talented and inspirational! The variety of soup recipes is amazing! Curry soups, classic tomato, hearty chicken noodle, savory beef vegetable, loaded baked potato, roasted pumpkin, lentil soups and so many more! They are all homemade, nutritious, and unique and with options for all palates and special dietary restrictions.
At the Empty Bowls Project, we celebrate delicious food while bringing hunger awareness to our community. We are so happy to be back in person at the 24th annual event on Sunday, November 7th to support Dripping Springs Helping Hands. Can't wait to be enjoying soup with friends and family!
