Temple Shir Shalom of West
Bloomfield is sponsoring its ninth
annual Chicken Soup Cook-Off
Sunday, Jan. 27, from 12:30-2 p.m.
Numerous recipes of chicken soup
will be featured for patrons to sam-
ple. Last year, there were 25 different
varieties of chicken soup.
Restaurants, individuals and
families from the community will
be bringing in their best chicken
soups for guests to sample. Lulus of
Commerce, Pickles + Rye, Steve’
s
Deli, Henry Ford West Bloomfield
Hospital and Jennifer’
s Cafe are
among potential participants.
At the Cook-Off, guests will be
able to vote for the “Best Chicken
Noodle Soup,” “Best Matzo Ball
Soup,” and “Best Contemporary
Chicken Soup.” In addition, there
will be a “People’
s Choice Award”
and even a “Best Decorated Table
Award.”
The Chicken Soup Cook-Off was

the brainstorm of Rabbi Daniel
Schwartz who says, “This is a fun
opportunity to bring together not
only our congregants, but the public
as well. This is a great cause and the
opportunity to raise money for char-
itable organizations is a privilege.”
The organizations supported
include I Am My Bothers Keeper
Ministries, Heart 2 Hart, Shir
Shalom Young Adult’
s Group, which
generates new programs and helps
to provide scholarships to religious
school students. Last year, more than
500 people attended to go along with
the more than $5,000 raised from
the event.
Tickets are $5 for adults and $3
for children ages 5-12 with children
4 and under free. The cost for an
entire family is $15.
For more information and advance
tickets, contact Rabbi Daniel
Schwartz at (248) 737-8700 or email
cookoff@shirshalom.org.
