Warm, delicious, soothing, satisfying soups are such a welcome treat for dinner any time of year. All the stresses
of the day seem to melt away with the smell of freshly made soup that brings smiles to the entire family.
Have some fun participating in this virtual COOK-ALONG class; expand your family’s soup rotation and your
culinary repertoire as you learn to create two wonderful soups in addition to homemade Baguette! Choose one
soup for your cook-along, and watch a demonstration of the other or choose to make both! It’s up to you! Both
will pair perfectly serves with the amazing homemade Baguettes we will be making from scratch! You will feel so
accomplished!
NO INSTANT POT®? NO PROBLEM! The instructor will be making one soup in the Instant Pot®, and the other on
the stovetop using a soup pot. The instructor will provide step-by-step guidance and instruction for both cooking
options for each of the soups so everyone will be able to cook-along using whatever appliance and cooking tools
/ equipment they choose. Experience how flavors are enhanced and infused by making these recipes in your
Instant Pot® or enjoy the simple soothing pleasures of making soups the classical way.
On the Menu: Instructors copycat version of the Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana, her version of Italian Wedding
Meatball Soup, and her very own version of quick Baguettes. These original delicious no-fail recipes created by
the instructor will become family favorites guaranteed!
Make it a date night or family night as you create lasting memories in your kitchen!
Have your questions answered by the instructor, interact with other participants as you cook along, and increase
your confidence in the kitchen with each skill that is learned, and each little bit of advice and instruction that is
shared.
While cooking-along is loads of fun, and highly recommended, it is optional.
Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class to allow with enough time for shopping and
preparation. A professionally made PDF packet of the Instructors Personal Recipes from this class will also be
received. NOTE: The Instructors recipes are copyrighted and are only shared with those who register for this
class.
This class will take place on Zoom; a free online software. Participants will receive instructions on how to access
the class prior to it starting.
As an added bonus, the instructor has created a private group and a public group on Facebook for participants in
her cooking classes. Everyone will receive an invite to the groups although joining is optional. Come join the fun!
