Seniors' Week in Lethbridge celebrated with soup competition
In celebration of Seniors' Week, a friendly competition took place at Lethbridge's Blue Sky Lodge on Thursday to see who could craft the best bowl of soup.
Soup was on in Lethbridge on Thursday morning, but in the end… there could only be one.
A friendly competition took place at Blue Sky Lodge to see who could create the best batch of soup.
In celebration of Seniors' Week, the Green Acres Foundation hosted this battle of the bowls.
Residents from all nine of Green Acres' seniors communities, with help from the culinary team, crafted different soups to showcase.
A panel of judges including Lethbridge Mayor Blaine Hyggen spent the lunch hour on Thursday tasting each soup before awarding the title to one of the communities.
Once ladles were down, Blue Sky Lodge was crowned the winner, with its 'fiery tomato soup with cheesy garlic bread croutons.'
It was about more than just the souped-up menu, however…
'Seniors are the ones who built this province. They're the ones who came here, worked hard and made it easier for the coming generations—the generations after them,' said Dawna Coslovi, Green Acres CEO.
'I think it's just fitting that we should be honouring seniors every day, but it's just fitting that the province has recognized this one week that we can all honour seniors and thank them for their contributions.'
The winning soup will be featured on the fall menu at all Green Acres communities.
