It's officially freezing outside and if statistics are to be trusted, we're all just one ill-fated handshake away from the worst flu of our lives. Of course, this can only mean one thing: it's soup season. Whether your house is already in Sniffles City or you're just trying to warm up, soup — preferably in a bread bowl — is an absolute necessity. So with the big game coming up this weekend, we were inspired to put together a little competition of our own, in partnership with Progresso Light. Which bread bowl is the MVP of Winter 2013? Vote for the soup that's helping you, er, tackle the elements.

Did we miss your favorite? The battle of the bowls continues in the comments section below!
