After years of our annual Chili Cook Off tradition, we changed it up this year and had a Soup Cook Off, which was not only a lot of fun, but extremely delicious! We had 10 amazing homemade soups to vote between, and the decision was not easy -- every soup was incredible! The grand prize went to a delectable Baked Potato Soup (topped with green onions, cheese and bacon 😲😲🤯🤯), and tied for second place were a Chicken Pot Pie Soup and a Gumbo with Chicken and Andouille Sausage. Aren't you hungry just reading this?! 😂 Are you a soup aficionado? Drop us a comment about your favorite soup recipe, or comment which soup from the list of contenders you'd be most interested to try. It is soup season after all!
