On Sunday, February 10th, from 2-6 PM at Haley House Bakery Café in Roxbury's Dudley Square, more than a dozen phenomenal chefs will serve soups made from locally sourced ingredients to benefit Haley House's programs which include a soup kitchen, housing, education and training, and social enterprise.
Upon entering, attendees select a handcrafted ceramic bowl, courtesy of MassArt's Center for Community Partnerships and Clay for Change. Moving from station to station, guests will be treated to delicious soups produced with locally sourced ingredients! At the end of the event, attendees are invited to take their handmade bowls home with them.
Ingredients for the Souper Bowl are sourced from a selection of local farms and purveyors and Iggy's Bread generously donates bread. A selection of soups featured in the past: Butternut Squash & Apple, Cream of Carrot, French Onion, Kabocha Mash, Kale, Pea Tendril, Pork & Bean, Root Vegetable & Lentil, Scotch Broth, Seafood Chowder, Mannish Water (Goats Head Soup), and Sweet & Spicy Parsnip. Confirmed chef partners for this event include: Cuisine En Locale, Mei Mei, Future Chefs, BOS Up, and Boston Day and Evening Academy, in addition to numerous staff at Haley House Bakery Café.
Brief History of this Event:
In 2009, the Boston Localvores, an informal group interested in supporting the local food movement, approached Haley House Bakery Café with the concept of a tasting event spotlighting locally sourced soups and the "Souper Bowl" was born. Seven years ago, Massachusetts College of Art and Design's Clay for Change student organization proposed a partnership to make bowls for this event (as part of the “Empty Bowls” movement), to support Haley House's 50 year old Soup Kitchen (located in the South End since 1966). For the past several years, MassArt's Center for Art and Community Partnerships has collaborated by coordinating community bowl-making workshops that add to the richness of the event.
