The cost would be between $30 and $35 and the workshop would need 15 to 20 participants to go ahead.

The AGSO welcomes you to savour soups from Theoís Restaurant, the Dream CafÈ, Voodooís Neighborhood Pub, Whole Foods Market ñ Wheat Grass CafÈ, Kettle Valley Station Pub, Joy Road Catering, Fibonacci Roastery & CafÈ, Valentiniís CafÈ, The Lunchbox and  Saltyís Beach House/Black Pearl Oyster Bar.  Just Pies and Serious Breads along with Walla Foods will be providing fabulous bread to round out your meal.  

Participants are encouraged to vote for their favorite soup which will be announced during the  event.  The coveted championship currently belongs to Fibonacci Roastery & CafÈ, and you can bet that nine other chefs are chasing down the honor. Enjoy a glass of the South Okanaganís coveted wine or a chilled beer from Cannery Brewing Company while kicking back to the music of the Darylectones.  Your bowl and a recipe book of each featured soup are the perfect  souvenirs of a great October evening.

Tickets are $30 for gallery members and $35 for non-members and available at the Art Gallery of the South Okanagan, 199 Marina Way.  This event sells out annually so we recommend that you purchase your ticket sooner rather than later.   Thanks to our sponsors, Penticton Pottersí Guild and Money Concepts Penticton & Acuity Funds Ltd.  All proceeds benefit gallery programming.
