OceanView Annual Soup Challenge
Our residents, and their tummies, look forward each year to the Annual Soup Challenge, a tasty fundraising event. With a suggested $5 donation to the OceanView Resident Assistance Fund, participants get to sample soups prepared by some of our talented chefs, and then have the tricky task of having to vote for their favorite!
Chef Chris placed third with his Potato Leek, Chef Helen came in second with her Creamy Coconut Curry Chicken & Vegetables, and Chef Tom took home the first place trophy by cooking up an incredibly delicious and creamy classic Haddock Chowder! Runners-up included Chef Betsy’s Sweet Potato & Carrot, Chef Jeff’s Hot and Sour, and Chef Mary Ann’s Chicken Tortellini.
With multiple dining venues on campus serving a selection of soups, our residents left the event knowing that they’ll have more opportunities to enjoy their favorite, as well as discover new ones.
