New for 2010, the Soup-A-Bowl took place to find out who at RBH is the Masterchef of Soup (and who spoils the broth).
On Friday 3rd December, over 20 of us competed for the chance to win the Golden Bowl trophy. All issued with a competitor number (to provide anonymity and make Judging fair), we set out our best soup dish in the RBH boardroom for Judging to commence. The soups were marked on overall Britishness of the entry, seasonality of ingredients, presentation, aroma and of course, taste.
Some entrants went all-out to impress the Judging panel with never-seen-before presentation (Mr Rees) while others simply let the taste of their soup do all the talking.
The atmosphere was tense as prizes were handed out. The Wooden Spoon was handed to Ash Humby with his Potato & Leek soup (complete with potato slippers), Tom Ives took 3rd place with A Very British brussel sprout and chesnut soup, 2nd place went to Dave Reed with his Split Pea & Ham soup and 1st prize went to me, Claudia, with my Tipsy Mushhroom soup.
Thanks to everyone who took part and making the RBH Soup-A-Bowl 2010 such a success!
