An afternoon of bold flavors, local chefs, and community impact.
Join us for the very first Soup Cook-Off, where nearly a dozen of Portland’s most exciting chefs—from places like Akådi, Kachka, and Ox—bring their best to the bowl. You’ll sample soup creations, vote for your favorite, and connect with others who care about food and opportunity.
All proceeds support Stone Soup PDX, a nonprofit kitchen empowering people rebuilding their lives through job training and employment in the food industry.
We’re keeping tickets affordable so everyone can come—especially our under-35 crowd from Give!Guide. If you're able, consider a support-tier ticket to help us grow our impact.
Guests will enjoy:
🍲 Tasting stations with creative soups from top local restaurants and nonprofits
🥖 Fresh-baked Grand Central bread — perfect for savoring every last spoonful.
🎤 A lively evening hosted by our fabulous MC (a Stone Soup graduate!)
🎟 Raffle prizes, drinks, and plenty of community cheer
Your ticket not only gets you soup tastings and a vote for the People’s Choice Award, but also supports Stone Soup PDX’s mission of building economic stability for people experiencing barriers to employment and nourishing Portland through culinary training and community meals.
We serve over 1,700 meals each week to community organizations—and this night is all about celebrating food, chefs, and community coming together around the table.
