After A Two Year Hiatus, the Roadrunner Food Bank Souper Bowl Returned on 4 February 2023<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Genesis 25:34 recounts the story of Isaac\u2019s two sons Esau and Jacob. \u00a0Talk about a sibling rivalry. \u00a0Coming home from an unsuccessful hunt one day, Esau was exhausted and famished. \u00a0The aroma of hot, steaming red lentil soup filled the air and he would do anything to have some. \u00a0 His brother Jacob, a crafty schemer, agreed to give his brother some soup in exchange for the birthright to which the elder son was entitled. \u00a0Esau\u00a0acquiesced.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two things about this popular Old Testament story that have always perplexed me:<\/span><\/p>\n

(1)<\/strong> \u00a0Just how good can soup possibly be that someone would renounce a birthright to have some<\/strong>? \u00a0On Saturday, February 4th, 2023, I was privileged to serve as a judge for the eleventh time in the Roadrunner Food Bank’s annual Souper Bowl where I had my annual epiphany of just how good soup can be. \u00a0The 2023 Souper Bowl, Albuquerque\u2019s foremost tasting competition, featured thirty-two of Albuquerque\u2019s finest eateries showcasing their very best soups and desserts. \u00a0More importantly, it served as the\u00a0Roadrunner Food Bank\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> most attended fundraising event.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the warmest day of an unusually cold and dry winter, \u00a0throngs of Duke City diners arrived at the Roadrunner Food Bank warehouse for their favorite comfort food\u2013the warmth and nurturance of soup. \u00a0Soup is restorative, it is healing, it can uplift a troubled soul. \u00a0As 32 Albuquerque chefs proved, it can also be inspired.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even the sagacious King Solomon would have struggled to select a winner from among the scintillating fusillade of soups brought before the panel of four judges: Destiny Logan Smith, the Community Manager for Yelp; Glenn Waters, New Mexico Small Business Development Director, Gil Gardu\u00f1o, loquacious blogger; and TJ Trout<\/strong><\/a>, prominent radio personality. \u00a0For the first time in nearly a decade, not sitting on the judges’ table was my friend and fellow blogger Larry McGoldrick<\/strong><\/a> who passed away in August, 2021. \u00a0 Glenn and I frequently asked ourselves “What would Larry have said about this soup<\/em>?” \u00a0My friend’s presence was definitely felt.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lucky Judges: Destiny Logan Smith, Glenn Waters, Gil Garduno, TJ Trout<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There were savory soups; \u00a0dessert sweet soups; sublimely scented soups; \u00a0tongue-tingling, tangy soups; incendiary, piquant soups and rich, creamy soups all seemingly seeking out, finding and tantalizing every one of our taste buds. \u00a0A compendium of ingredients, spices and seasonings were deployed. \u00a0 Miniature tortillas were used in place of croutons on one soup. \u00a0Vegan chorizo was a surprising find in another. \u00a0Still another saw the captivating convergence of mushrooms \u00a0and curry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Results were tallied and winners were announced, but the true winners were the hundreds who sipped and slurped some of the very best soup conceivable. \u00a0A bigger winner still are the hungry masses throughout the Land of Enchantment in need of sustenance and hope.<\/span><\/p>\n

In honor of Larry McGoldrick, the professor with the perspicacious palate, the Roadrunner Food Bank designated the Critics’ Choice Award in his honor. \u00a0Larry would have been very pleased with the results (and I’d like to think we’d have been in complete agreement):<\/span><\/p>\n

How could someone not feed a brother when he is hungry<\/strong>?\u00a0 New Mexico is considered one of the most food insecure states in the nation with one of eight New Mexicans at risk of experiencing hunger. \u00a0And for children, 20.5 percent or 1 in 5 arlikely to facing hunger, too.\u00a0 These are our brothers and sisters\u2026and there but for the grace of God go many of us, particularly in this trying economy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roadrunner\u00ae<\/sup> Food Bank, a Feeding America member, is the largest non-profit dedicated to solving hunger in New Mexico.\u00a0 The food bank serves as a distribution hub and provides food to hundreds of affiliated partners around the state including food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and regional food banks.\u00a0 Roadrunner also distributes food through its own specialized programs helping children, families and seniors at schools, healthcare locations, low-income seniors housing sites and senior centers.\u00a0 Last year, the food bank distributed more than 34 million pounds of food, helping tens of thousands of people facing hunger every week through a statewide hunger-relief network.\u00a0 For more information on helping, visit the Roadrunner Food Bank’s website<\/a><\/strong>;\u00a0 and follow the Roadrunner Food bank on social media at: www.facebook.com\/roadrunner.food.bank<\/a>, www.twitter.com\/roadrunnerfdbnk<\/a>,<\/u> www.instagram.com\/roadrunnerfoodbank<\/a>, or www.linkedin.com\/company\/roadrunner-food-bank-of-new-mexico<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These are trying times in New Mexico with government and private contributions to charitable organizations on the decrease while demand for their services is on the rise. \u00a0Non-profit charitable organizations such as the Roadrunner Food Bank depend upon contributions to support their activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are several ways we can all contribute and we don\u2019t have to wait until the annual Souper Bowl to do so. \u00a0In fact, volunteers play a key role in Roadrunner Food Bank\u2019s mission of feeding the hungry. Roadrunner Food Bank relies heavily on volunteers to supplement its staff members. Volunteers help sort, package and box all the donated food.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking from personal experience, there is no more rewarding \u201cteam building\u201d experience than for colleagues to get together to do something for others less fortunate. \u00a0It may not be as much fun as judging a Souper Bowl, but it is infinitely more important. \u00a0Other ways in which you can help feed your brothers and sisters is through monetary donations \u00a0and by conducting food drives on behalf of the Roadrunner Food Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the New Testament, Jesus took five loaves of bread and two fish and fed the multitudes. Roadrunner Food Bank returns can provide up to 5 meals for every dollar donated. Please help the Roadrunner Food Bank continue to perform day-to-day miracles that touch the lives of our New Mexican brothers and sisters. \u00a0Your generosity is more important now than ever!\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

My thanks to Sonya Warwick, the Roadrunner Food Bank’s fabulous Communications Director for her help with this post.
