Welcome back to Souper Bowl Sunday! Get ready to watch Rachael and Ryan slurp their way through butternut squash, corn chowder, tomato bisque, and avgolemono. Which soup will reign supreme? Tune in to see!

What do soup and the four seasons have in common? Absolutely nothing... unless you're Rachael and Ryan. Welcome to Souper Bowl Sunday, the only podcast brave enough to ask: What soup does spring taste like? In Part 1, your favorite broth (How You Brothin’?) enthusiasts hit the grocery store with big dreams and bigger ladles. On the menu? Corn chowder (for the sunshine) and butternut squash soup (because squash is fall’s love language). It’s chaotic. It’s cozy. It’s souper!

Though the season of spoops may have faded, Rachael and Ryan invite you to journey back to October in this delightful episode of How You Brewin'. Join us as we uncover our Enneagram personality types, and beware—spoiler alert, it reveals our very essence!
