October 16 - It's Soup Season! (Hands-On)

$90.00

It is Soup weather for sure! Potage is a French term for a thick soup, typically made with blended vegetables. A Soup is a broader English term for any dish with a liquid base, such as a broth, chunky vegetable or blended. A key difference is that potage is almost always pureed for a smooth texture. Menu includes: Bouillabaisse, Velouté aux Champignons - Cream of Mushroom, and Butternut Squash Soup. Lots of crusty bread and a big salad will be on hand to enjoy the soups.
