SOUP BASICS I - STOCK AND CREAM BASED SOUPS
SORRY, SOLD OUT!
Saturday, October 29         11:30am - 2:30pm
$30
Vicki McCain, Kitchenique Cooking School Director
Great soups are hard to beat for a quick "heat up" dinner or for unexpected guests! Healthy, hearty and delicious, homemade soups offer endless creative possibilities once you master a few basics. I've decided to combine my two basic soup classes and cover stock based soups and cream based soups in one three hour session. We'll start with a basic stock based Turkey Vegetable; Tortellini, Spinach and Tomato Soup and classic French Onion. Then we'll make a "chicken base" for cream soups (which can be frozen) and using that base make a Roasted Garlic and Cauliflower and Roasted Butternut Squash Soup. Be sure to bring your appetite and imagination!
