Is it the

game or the food that makes Superbowl Sunday an American

tradition?

The passes

executed into the bowl of dip often surpass the ho-hum

tosses into the end zone during a typical Superbowl

match-up.

Last year's

Falcon fiasco was down-played by many fans who chose the

pimiento spread over the point spread.

This year's

match-up is still in question, but one thing is certain

- creating a delicious spread of "football

food" will keep the fans cheering.

Transforming

your Superbowl gathering into a "souper" bowl

event is as easy as shopping the canned soup and bean

aisle in your local supermarket.

Campbell's

Soup offers a variety of quick, easy to prepare appetizer

and entree recipes that fit perfectly into a halftime

gathering. Bush's beans offers a quick and easy dip

recipe and tortilla wrap idea that can be whipped up in

the time it takes to say "Interference."
