Arlee Theater’s annual soup lunch

[October 17, 2025]   Mason City, IL: The Arlee Theater is serving its annual soup lunch on Sunday, November 2. Hosted at the American Legion Hall at 110 W. Court Street in Mason City, the event will feature eight types of soup, some homemade and some from restaurants around Central Illinois.  

The soup list includes local specialties Stuffed Pepper Soup from Do Drop In Café, French Onion soup from Guzzardo’s, and Cheesy Ham & Potato from Dovetail Inn, as well as a handful of varieties made by Arlee board members: John's legendary Chili, Mary's Cheesy Broccoli, Paula's famous Chicken Noodle, Carol's comforting Cream of Chicken with Rice, and Vegan Veggie. A donation is requested for admission, and guests are welcome to stay and eat as much as they'd like, with slightly smaller portions available for "flights" to sample, as well as larger bowls. Carryout containers will also be available for $5 each. The event will run from 11 am – 2 pm on Sunday, November 2. Each meal includes soup, crackers and a dessert—guest's choice, but options will include several homemade treats as well as Subway's mouth-watering cookies. Guests who attended their concert earlier this month will be delighted to hear the Bloomington-based jazz group "The Sweet Nothings" will provide music during this event as well.
