Pawley’s Island Souper Bowl. 1 '08

CC's Souper Bowl
On Saturday, January 12 we attended the Pawley’s Island Souper Bowl.  Where else could we have had the opportunity to taste soups from some of the most popular restaurants in South Carolina. The fundraising event was sponsored by Habitat for Humanity to help deserving low income women in Georgetown County get into their own homes. Over 40 gourmet soups were donated by the finest restaurants in Georgetown County.  The restaurants definitely put their best dishes out at this event. The choices ranged from the low country favorite, she crab soup, to the exotic Roasted Red Pepper with Goat Cheese Cream and fresh basil, to Lobster Bisque.

BJ's Souper Bowl
Local artists from elementary school through to professional artists made and donated bowls and cups for the event.  You purchase a ticket, get to choose (and keep your cup/bowl) then sample as many of the soups as your stomach can hold (the soup is served in a Styrofoam bowl.)  It was a great way  to spend a cold Saturday evening after Christmas and New Year's  when we were "turkeyed" out while helping our local community.   If Habitat for Humanity sponsors a Souper Bowl in your area, we would definitely encourage you to attend. But here’s a little hint.  Go early if you want to be seated at a table. These are sell-out events.
