Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 9th Annual Soup’s On! Soup Tasting. It was a wonderful evening of great food, community spirit, and friendly competition—and thanks to your support, we raised over $4,000 to help advance the mission of Batavia United Way.

Congratulations to our 2026 Soup Bowl Champion, JT’s Tavern, whose Stuffed Green Pepper Soup captured the top spot this year!

We are incredibly grateful to all of the local restaurants that shared their delicious creations and made the evening so special: Bocaditos Cafe, Chicken Salad Chick, Everdine’s Grilled Cheese Co., Fernandos Street Kitchen, Gammon Coach House, Pal Joey’s, Raising Cane’s, Sidecar Supper Club, Tusk Thai, and Windmill Grille.

A very special thank you goes to Pal Joey’s and John and his team for generously providing the space, servers, and ongoing support that help make this event possible year after year.

Events like Soup’s On! showcase the incredible generosity and collaboration that make Batavia such a special community. We encourage everyone to support these amazing local restaurants whenever you can!

We can’t wait to do it all again next year. 🍲
