We were on a mission to discover Manitoba's most popular soup. We put out the call for help, and you answered. When the frosty winds of winter sweep through Manitoba, there's no better way to warm your soul than with a steaming bowl of soup. It's the ultimate comfort food, and here in the heart of Canada, we take our soup seriously. That's why we hosted "Manitoba's Battle of the Soups," a sizzling showdown of flavours, fun, and community. We invited Manitoba to be the judge to determine Manitoba's most favoured soup. For three weeks, there were two battles every day on Travel Manitoba's Instagram Stories from November 1st to 29th. With over 26,000 votes and 32 soups in the bracket, it came down to two soups; french onion and broccoli and cheddar. With only a 14 vote difference, broccoli and cheddar took the title of Manitoba's Ultimate Soup. There was shock, there was confusion, there was celebration. On November 29th, we crowned our 2023 soup champion!

But, we're not here to leave you hanging in hunger, we're here to help.

Sip, Savour, Support Local

Winnipeg can be considered a metropolitan of soup for its melting pot of culture and cuisine. Heading to Downtown Winnipeg? You're at home with Soups, Sandwhiches and More - they really do have it all. If you're looking to try Indigenous cuisine, head on over to Feast Cafe & Bistro to try their incredible bison ramen! If you find yourself travelling in the Parkland area, you have to stop by Corrina's on Main for homemade, delicious soup. Corrina herself makes two fresh pots of soup, daily! Opt-in for something unique at Saperavi with Chuchvara, a bison dumpling soup. In search of a vegan soup? Head to The Mighty Kiwi on Corydon or Black Market Provisions on Osborne. Looking for a health kick? Try out the bone broth at Fortify. If you're looking to sip and stout, stop by One Great City Brewing for their unique beer and cheese soup!
