Warren’s LJ’s Grill will serve Lasagna Soup this week as part of the 12th annual Stone Soup fundraiser.
The Child Nutrition Council of Manitoba (CNCM) hosts Stone Soup Week annually as a fun event where the community can come together to enjoy a hearty bowl of soup in a friendly competition while supporting local schools.
From March 11-17, restaurants serve signature soup and donate $1 for each bowl sold to CNCM to support school meal and snack programs across Manitoba.
A complete list of restaurants competing can be found at www.childnutritioncouncil.com/soups and vote for their favorite soup. Carlo’s Cucina in Winnipeg Beach and Breezy Oaks Inn & Tavern in Beausejour are competing alongside LJ’s Grill in the Interlake-Eastern region.
Last year, the annual fundraiser brought in $25,000 thanks to individual donors, corporate donors and soup sales. The contest will first choose a winner from each region (Interlake-Eastern Manitoba, Northern Manitoba, South Central Manitoba, Western Manitoba and Winnipeg) and then the entire province.
Be sure to stop by LJ’s Grill at 250 Railway Ave in Warren for a bowl of Lasagna Soup, made with Italian sausage, tomato, and herb-based broth, lasagna noodles, and topped with a whipped herb and garlic ricotta cheese mixture, for $5.68. And don’t forget to vote for your favorite soup at the link above.
