🥣 2nd Annual Amateur Soup Cook-Off

 

Where home cooks become local legends

 

Dust off your ladle and warm up those taste buds — the 2nd Annual Amateur Soup Cook-Off is back, and it’s bigger, bolder, and simmering with excitement!

After an unforgettable first year, we’re thrilled to invite our community back for another round of friendly competition, savory soups, and feel-good fun. Last year’s champions, Robin & Robert Brunstein, wowed judges and tasters alike with their crowd-pleasing French Onion Soup. 🏆  So the big question is… who will top that?
