HEART-WARMING SOUPS

October 1

Saturday 11AM to 2PM

As soon as the weather changes and the cool breeze arrives and autumn leaves begin to fall it’s time for SOUP. Come fill your pots with these delectable choices: Portuguese Caldo Verde made with greens, potatoes and sausage; Senate Bean that they still eat in the Senate; Butternut Squash soup creamy and tangy; Mushroom Barley without meat; and, if enough time a Split Pea Soup that takes the chill off. Bring an apron, your favorite knife, a container or two and a kitchen towel. Class is demo and hands-on.

Class fee $40, plus $20 food fee payable to instructor.
