Empty Bowls SoupFest was a great success

 

 

The UCHS Empty Bowls SoupFest was a hit with local chefs preparing delicious soups in a competition to have their creation named soup of the day.

The competition was fierce and once all of the votes were counted, the Thai Indian Butternut Squash soup by Saucy Soup was declared the winner. The runner up was the Cream of Mushroom soup by Paul M’Keown from the Mountainview Residence and Terrace. Tied for third were the Acorn Squash and Sweet Potato soup from Judy’s Restaurant and the Wild Mushroom Bisque from David’s Restaurant.

Other generous participants included Bistro Riviere, Carver’s Block, Bob’s Grillhouse, The Pantry Shelf, Tintagels Tea Room and What’s Cookin’.

If you didn’t get a chance to sample the winning soup, Saucy Soup (20 Shamrock Road, Erin) will feature its winning Thai Indian Butternut Squash soup on its lunch menu every Wednesday through the winter.

Thank you to all of the chefs for sharing their wonderful soups and making our first SoupFest such a success. Our thanks also go out to Holtom’s Bakery for donating bread for the event and to Marc’s Valu-Mart and Hillsburgh Foodland for their generous donations.

Our appreciation also goes out to our volunteers and everyone who attended the event to sample the delicious soups and support the Upper Credit Humane Society.

 

Empty Bowls SoupFest was held on Nov. 16 at Center 2000 in Erin.
