HISTORY​

Welcome to the Wise Temple Chicken Soup Cook-Off! Established in 2003 by Wise Temple Brotherhood members, Jay Rissover and Rick Seelig, this beloved community event has brought together professional chefs and amateur cooks alike for a spirited competition, all while raising funds for vital charitable services.

With hundreds of gallons of delicious chicken soup prepared each year, participants not only showcase their culinary talents but also contribute to alleviating food insecurity in the Cincinnati area.

Join us for a day of fun, flavor, and community spirit!
