Souper Bowl IV continued as a gustatory and financial success, raising $349.00 for the Nuria Protopopescu Memorial Fund.
Congratulations and thanks to the culinary contributers:

After a tasteful evaluation by all attendees, the following entries were chosen by secret ballot for special recognition:
David Bowman was presented the Bronze Ladle for Creamy Mushroom Soup.
Karen Warren received the Silver Ladle for Sweet Potato, Carrot, Apple, and Red Lentil Soup.
and Tom Wilson was awarded the Gold Ladle for Minestra Maritata (Italian Wedding Soup) vindicating his decision to hand roll hundreds of tiny meatballs (which is not happening again anytime soon).
Thanks to all who attended and volunteers/organizers Chris Crosby, Steve Ortega, and Alex Sneddon.
Mark your calendars for Souper Bowl V, scheduled for lunchtime on Thursday January 31, 2019!
