Turning the stones into soup
Community Foundation’s Stone Soup Challenge gets underway at Sally Ann TRE VOR CR AWLEY
It was a matchup that pitted a seasoned master of the culinary arts against a student who is just taking the first step in her journey to becoming a chef. However, it was youth that prevailed in the opening round, as the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge kicked off it’s second annual event on Tuesday at the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen. Lindsey Waugh (Hot Shots Cafe) and her Turkey Chickpea with Brazilian Flavours won by the slimmest of margins at 33-32 votes over Doug Wagner (St. Eugene Golf
Resort and Casino) who challenged with a Snack Pack Chilli. What makes the significance of the Snack Pack, you ask? Each chef brought a mystery ingredient that the other chef must use in their soup or pay up $50 to get out of using that particular item. Waugh thought her Snack Pack pudding might be just the trick to throw Wagner off his game, however, the chocolate-based pudding was actually a helpful ingredient towards getting to the final product of his chilli.
