Souper Bowl Halftime Show (Meta)

Meta Prompt
Inspired by Pun of a Kind #47 https://crosshare.org/crosswords/l35rvvmDOcx1KgioAMGJ/souper-bowl The answer to the meta is a type of soup.
Here's a hint if you are stuck: Look at the three vertical long entries and look for letters they have in common. This should help you crack the meta.

    Another soup-er puzzle!
    • boharr 3s · 2023-02-11T20:13:49.340Z
      Fun one. Thanks.
      • woozy 🤓3:46 · 2023-02-11T20:12:31.318Z
        Hah! I like a good visual pun meta to keep things fresh (how many times can you take the first letter and spell things out in a row)
        • Cindy Heisler 3s · 2023-02-11T20:44:41.848Z
          That was fun! Thanks, Peter.
          • Brian Callahan 🤓8:45 · 2023-02-11T22:05:56.929Z
            Excellent!

              Soup-erb! I was expecting something related to "half" or "time" so I started after some rabbit soup trails before seeing the more direct answer. =)
              • KayW 🤓7:55 · 2023-02-11T22:06:14.501Z
                Fun! And now I'm hungry again. Thanks Peter!
                • I K Snamhcok 2s · 2023-02-12T00:09:20.867Z
                  Once the Souper Bowl is done, maybe we’ll be treated to some Souperman-themed puzzles?? That would be more in my wheelhouse than football.
                  • Bbaack 🤓17:44 · 2023-02-12T03:31:38.876Z
                    Solved. Now what am i going to do tomorrow? Oh wait...
                    • Carolyn 7s · 2023-02-12T04:23:41.788Z
                      Very nice! Thanks
                      • Alex Sisti 3s · 2023-02-12T07:09:48.473Z
                        Give 'em shell, Peter!
                        • whimsy 23:18 · 2023-02-12T21:37:55.424Z
                          I tried to give 'em another kind of shell, after going down a quite reasonable rabbit hole that gave me crayfish soup!
                        • Laura M 🤓10:32 · 2023-02-12T06:47:58.494Z
                          Fun, thanks!

                                Appropriately fun and relaxing for a football Sunday. Thanks!
                                • whimsy 23:18 · 2023-02-12T21:41:14.115Z
                                  You should have seen me trying for gumbo! Thanks, Peter! Eggcellent puzzle!

                                    Nope, it's the Year of the Rabbit!
                                  • Tyrpmom 2s · 2023-02-13T03:01:41.877Z
                                    These food puzzles make me hungry!
                                    • DrTom 3s · 2023-02-13T18:25:12.410Z
                                      Of course I tried initials, Roman numerals translated to Arabic, music origins...and then I saw the two Gs in all of them, then the EGG in all of them dropping down. Fun puzzle Peter.
                                      • wendy walker 10s · 2023-02-13T22:16:30.878Z
                                        Yum! Did this one just after Abide's MMM and noticed a few similarities!

                                          Ah, you caught that Easter---egg.
                                        • Bird Lives 7s · 2023-02-14T17:58:10.356Z
                                          Ah, stracciatella. Inspired by MIkey? Or was it Muller?
                                          • ajk 🤓6:59 · 2023-02-16T22:36:42.532Z
                                            Just remembered I never did this one. Fun stuff, thanks.
                                            • Joe 🤓11:08 · 2023-02-17T12:33:33.384Z
                                              Embarrassed to say I needed the hint. Great puzzle!
                                              • michaelm 18:16 · 2023-02-19T18:18:10.126Z
                                                No hint - just got to this. Hate to relive the not so Super Bowl but puzzle definitely worth it a week later. Thanks Peter.
