Today at the Town Church hundreds on islanders enjoyed a wonderful soup lunch from 15 chefs from around Guernsey and one school.
Volunteers from a Bridge 2 Sri Lanka and Haiti as well as staff and volunteers from the GSPCA helped run the fund raiser while staff, chef, teachers and students competed for the 2012 Big Soup Kitchen Challenge winners plate.
The 2011 winner was Dave Matheson with his Caribbean Spiced Vegetable Soup with Chicken Jerk Strips.
We were so grateful to Waitrose who sponsored the event as well as those that made and baked cakes and cookies to sell on the day.
We must thank the lovely Dean of Guernsey Paul Mellor for allowing us to use the church and to The Lieutanant Governor Air Marshall Peter Walker and his wife Lynda who attended and worked their way through tasting most of the soups as did the new ADC Marco Ciotti.
With one large or 3 small soups for just £5 as well as Recipe Booklets on sale for the first time a grand total of £2,487.25p was raised and we want to thank all those involved.
The Recipe Booklets can still be bought and/or emailed to you. For more details email [email protected] . They will also be available at the OSA Pop Up Charity Shop on Smith Street for the Bridge 2 Sri Lanka/Haiti week which starts on the 10th December and the GSPCA week on the 17th December.
Each soup was judged by the taster and scored out of ten and this evening Sarah Griffiths founder of the Soup Kitchen and from Bridge 2 Sri Lanka/Haiti announced after totting up the scores that the winner for 2012 Big Soup Kitchen Challenge is Colin Samson with his Maple Roasted Pumpkin Sweet Potato Soup with Spiced Focaccia Croutons from La Fregate.
In second place was last years winner Dave Matheson from Red with James Ferguson
from Sueco in 3rd.
A special congratulations to Colin, Dave and James but both charities want to thank all the chefs and children involved and say that in our eyes everyone was a winner with wonderful soups and a fantastic atmosphere.
