Hearty Soups for Snow Season with Mimi Beaven

Soup season is well and truly here. Making flavorful soup is easy if you learn some simple principles that can be applied to any ingredient.

In this class we will talk about making your own delicious broths, the different kinds of soups and how you can adapt these principles to use any ingredients you have available in these lean months of deep winter in the Northeast. Healthy comfort food is our goal, and Mimi Beaven is the perfect instructor to help you unlock the secret of soup. We’ll all lunch together after the class.

Menu to include:

• Moroccan spiced red lentil soup
• Roasted squash and sage soup
• Bean and greens soup with Parmesan broth
• Mimi’s focaccia will accompany the soup

This demonstration class (plus lunch!) is limited to ten people.
