A focus of the workshops will be the use of affordable and locally available ingredients, and adapting recipes to a variety of tastes and dietary requirements. Handouts, recipes and a small container of soup for your family to try will be provided.
Blended soups are a great way to use a variety of vegetables you have on hand. In this workshop, we’ll prepare potato leek soup and try a few others.
