Gourmet Gastronomer Soup Off

For the second Gourmet Gastronomer Cook Off, we have chosen the theme of soup. Soup is a dish that is often neglected, yet it can be done in so many ways, and is often so delicious. People forget how easy it is to make certain soups, and how well they can be stored for future meals.

This portion of the Soup Off will be conducted like we did for the Mac and Cheese Off. You will vote on whichever soup looks best to you, based on the pictures, descriptions, and anything else that appeals to you about the soup. However, this time you will get 3 votes, so feel free to use different criteria for your selections.

Voting begins February 25th at 5:00PM, and will end February 27th at 5:00pm. Once the 12 original soups are voted down to the final 3, we will host a large Tasting, as that is the most important part of judging a soup. The tasting will be held on March 8th at 3:00PM at 2277 Bryant, San Francisco, California. All are welcome to join.

All participants received 50 Palate Points for entering. Every person voting in the Soup Off will receive 25 Palate Points, just let me know at danny@gourmetgastronomer.com. So please vote on your favorite soups, and feel free to leave comments about what you like about each of them.
