Savor the Season with Homemade Soups: A Cooking Class
Wednesday November 18 @5:00-7:00PM
RVNAhealth Teaching Kitchen
27 Governor Street, Ridgefield, CT
As the days get shorter and the temperatures drop, there’s nothing quite like a warm, hearty bowl of soup to welcome the season. Cozy, nourishing, and endlessly versatile, soups are a delicious way to pack vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into a satisfying meal.
They’re also the ultimate make-ahead meal; easy to prep, perfect for batch cooking, and wonderfully forgiving. Starting with a flavorful foundation of aromatics, they quickly fill the kitchen with delectable aromas as the pot is brimming with wholesome ingredients.
Join us for a casual, small-group, cooking adventure where we’ll prepare three to four pots of goodness, each with its own unique flavors and ingredients. We’ll discuss the nutrition benefits and simple ways to modify each recipe for taste preferences and dietary needs.
It will be a night of cooking and camaraderie as we come together to savor the season! Come hungry as we’ll be eating everything we make. All recipes will be provided.
Some hands-on, some demo.
