Soup Sunday Is A Feast For A Good Cause

Soup Sunday is a Memphis tradition. Every year, thousands of Memphians gather to enjoy samples of soups, appetizers, breads, dips, and desserts from dozens of local restaurants.

It's a smorgasbord, really. It's impossible to eat everything there, though many may try... Even better, all the ticket proceeds support Youth Villages. Tickets are available for purchase.

Soup Sunday 2025

The 36th annual Soup Sunday is set for February 23 at The Kent from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Prepare for an elevated soup experience like no other! 

Remember, this annual event is an important fundraiser that supports Youth Villages' mission to help children with emotional and behavior problems. This proceeds from this specifically go to the LifeSet program. LifeSet is one of the nation’s first — and now one of the largest — evidence-informed programs helping young people who age out of foster care.

Soup Sunday Details

For 2025, expect 30+ of your favorite local restaurants and caterers participating, along with beer, mimosas, and a special gift. Tsunami, Sunrise, Acre, Erling Jensen, and ECCO are just a few of the great restaurants participating plus many more. I got hungry just reading the list.

Most of the big dining events in town are in the evenings and aren't 100 percent geared towards families, which is something that makes Soup Sunday unique.

That Time I Ate A Bunch of Soup Sunday Classics

I finally made it to this classic Memphis event for Soup Sunday's 35th anniversary in 2025 and had an even better time than I had expected. If you don't believe soup is filling, think again. Come hungry because you will get full! 

The restaurants come to impress and showcase a great variety of different soups, stews, and gumbos. I don't think I had two soups that were similar in flavor. It's also not all soups either. Expect some savory and sweet treats mixed in.

Are you hungry yet?

If so, go snag a ticket and we'll see you filling up your samplers on Sunday! Tickets are $85 but remember, this is all for a good cause.

About the Author

Hello! I'm Jalyn Souchek, the Director of Content for I Love Memphis Blog! I love calling the 901 home. When I'm not running the blog you can find me cheering on the Grizzlies, at a concert, exploring a new restaurant or kicking back at one of our breweries. I hope you'll love experiencing Memphis with me.

Build your perfect Memphis meal:

I love to eat so if I were to have only one meal left.. I’m going all out. I’d start with an app of Gumbo Fries from Blue City Cafe or Bayou Fries from Chef Tam, wings from Good Fortune or Central’s (honey gold and Jamaican Jerk), potato salad from Fat Larry’s, side of bbq spaghetti from Bar-B-Q Shop, and fried okra from Soul Fish. All paired with a Beale Street Brewing Space Age Sippin’.

Your most memorable Memphis moment:

College GameDay on Beale Street. That was an electric and perfect morning. I was still working in news then and was able to take it in up close and on the stage at some points. The fun and joy of everyone down there that morning is unbeatable.
