Soups made with love can be a nourishing, flavorful and inexpensive way to feed your family. 

In this series, we will share techniques, tools, ingredients and tips learned through years of cooking for family and friends.  You’ll learn techniques about preparing ingredients, bringing them all together and tips on storage and serving.  A focus of the workshops will be the use of affordable and locally available ingredients, and adapting recipes to a variety of tastes and dietary requirements. Handouts, recipes and a small container of soup for your family to try will be provided.

Blended soups are a great way to use a variety of vegetables you have on hand.  In this workshop, we’ll prepare potato leek soup and try a few others.  We’ll share lots of ideas about ingredient options to make soups creamy and about herbs and spices that will create a rich flavor to have your family coming back for more.  This is an in-person class.
