It is winter and nothing says winter to me more than soup. So when Artizone Chicago asked me to check out their “Show Us Your Soup!” contest, I was all in. Basically, they said, “Whip up a soup, share it with us and you could be on your way to be a food artisan for a week with Karl’s Craft Soup”. Now, you may know that I am not the world’s finest cook, but I can follow a recipe – especially if it is a one pot recipe. That must be why I like making soup – you can’t mess it up!

Here is the deal for Show Us Your Soup:
“Submit a simple soup recipe + photo to our page. Soups can be whatever flavor and theme you like — we just have to be able to cook it up easily from home! Then get your friends and family to vote on your soup!
The THREE soups with the most votes get entered into a judging round by Karl Bader of Karl’s Soup. Of the top three, ONE soup will be chosen by Karl to be made in his kitchen and sold on artizone.com. Plus, the winner will get $100 credit to artizone.com!
Get your chance to have your original creation sold on artizone.com just like a real food artisan!”
The soup:
OK – in the spirit of full disclosure, this is not my recipe. I only made a few small modifications to Food 52 contributor La Domestique’s recipe. I added Parmesan cheese, so that is something. It is OK if I get disqualified. It was still fun and tasty! I made it for my book club and it was a big hit. If you have gluten free needs, skip the bread. It is still a delicious and filling soup.
If you are in Chicago and have a creative soup to share, enter the Artizone Show Us Your Soup contest on Facebook. Or you can vote for “mine.” 😉 Winners will be selected on 2/2 and there are low entries!
