Soup Cook-Off and Small Town Conspiracy

Kathy and I competed in the Indianaola Soup Cook-Off this weekend and had a great time!! 
Last year we took 3rd in our first ever soup cook-off and were really looking forward to doing even better this year.

We made Kathy's Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup that's always a hit with the crowds.  Lots of people turned out, including Uncle Mike and Aunt Amanda!! 

We definitely had the biggest soup pot.  That should be an award.

Paul and Olivia got to join in the fun too!
This man  (Terry Kelly - now a bad word in our house) has won either the Chili or Soup Cook-offs for the past 5 years.  There is a LOT of speculation about who and how the counting of the ballots is done... He did win 1st place this year, but the crowd was not too thrilled to see him appear on stage.
We didn't place this year, but we had a great time and saw lots of new and old friends in Indianola.  'They' can run a rigged competition if they like.  We'll just come to enjoy some great food, good friends, a wonderful small town community, and a few drinks.  Take that Terry Kelly!!!
