Adults and students faced off in the
fifth-annual soup cook-off Monday night at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center. The
contest drew hundreds of people to sample soups that ranged from bisques to hearty bean stews to meaty chili prepared by amateurs
and professionals, students and adults. Nikki Wilson, a freshman at the College of Southern
Maryland and former Forrest center culinary student, paired with her mother, Jan Jarboe, to make a Southwestern chicken tortilla
soup. "We've played with this recipe over the years," Jarboe said. The recipe won Monday in the poultry category
for the senior, or adult, division. The pair has participated in the cook-off every year
since it started. It's a fun mother-daughter activity, Jarboe said, and lets them recreate some of the cooking adventures
they have at home together. Although they have a recipe written down, it did not even
make it out of Jarboe's bag during the cooking, which involved adding a host of herbs and frying strips cut from soft tortilla
shells to create a full flavor and body. "We throw it in and it's always going to
taste good," Wilson said. Artical from The Enterprise NewsPaper
