Souper Bowl 2025: A Community Celebration of Art & Flavor
Our 2025 Souper Bowl brought together the best of our community for an unforgettable evening of handcrafted ceramics and culinary excellence, benefiting both The Art Center of Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend Food Bank. This unique partnership between two vital non-profit organizations continues to strengthen our community through art and food security initiatives.

A Feast for the Senses
Twenty-one local restaurants showcased their culinary creativity, serving up 21 distinctive soups that warmed hearts and delighted taste buds. Your top three favorites of the evening were:
-
Marco's Lunch Club's Tomato Basil
-
Switchgrass Landing's Conch Ambrosia (from the Omni Hotel)
-
Savor at 555's Poblano Soup
The Artists Behind the Bowls
Thanks to the incredible efforts of our Clay Studio members, we offered 964 unique, handmade bowls to our guests – including 779 new pieces created specifically for this year's event, surpassing last year's collection by 153 bowls. Our dedicated artists poured countless hours into creating this year's collection.
