On an unseasonably warm day in February, the windows of 93.3 WMMR Studios were streaming with liquid love. Eight restaurants from around the Delaware Valley brought in their world famous soups to compete in Preston & Steve’s Soup Bowl 2024.
These eight competitors were selected from a pool of 43 applicants. Trust us, it was not easy to choose. We here at The Preston & Steve Show did our best to select a wide variety of flavors and ingredients, We focused on more innovative flavor profiles over the classics. A choice which made voting extra difficult. More on that later. First lets meet the finalists:

If you are new to The Soup Bowl, here’s a quick history. It started out as a way of celebrating the excitement of snacking during Super Bowl weekend without actually saying Super Bowl because the “no fun league” has a lot of rules about that. When we introduced the idea to our old boss, Bill Weston, he freaked out. His concerns were so outrageous, we thought it was all a gag. But it was very real. he was concerned about spills in the studio. He admitted that any type of food could spill, but soup is extra messy.
Thus the legacy of the Soup Bowl and Bill’s distain for soup was born.
