CLEVELAND, Ohio -- We in cleveland.com's "Best of" department wonder what type of soup Cavaliers player JR Smith threw at assistant coach Damon Jones?

Cleveland.com is in the midst of a big contest with readers to decide the best soup in Greater Cleveland -- be it from a local restaurant, deli, grocery store and more.

Certainly, there are a lot of soups made around the region that JR Smith -- or anyone -- wouldn't dare waste a drop of.

Help Smith and contribute to the contest by nominating your favorite soups made around Cleveland. The nomination form is below. We will be accepting nominations until March 7 at noon.

Please note, the establishments that serve the soup must only have locations within Ohio, and at least one location must be within our seven-county coverage area of Cuyahoga, Summit, Lake, Geauga, Portage, Medina and Lorain counties. In other words, no national chains.

Please limit your nominations to a traditional soup, stew or chowder. Any chili or non-soup nominations will not be included in the voting round.

Once the nominations are in, the contest will move on to the voting round. Votes will be accepted Friday, March 9 at noon through Friday, March 16 at noon. You'll be able to vote for your favorite every hour.

The winner will be announced via Facebook Live later on March 16 on cleveland.com's Facebook page.

We look forward to hearing about soups so hearty that Smith would just enjoy them instead of wasting them. And again, we know, we are all dying to know what kind of soup it was.
