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 Baguettes! Choose one soup for your cook-along, and watch a demonstration of the other or choose to make both. They will pair perfectly with the amazing Homemade Baguettes you will be making from scratch! 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. Tess 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 you 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: Tess's copycat version of Olive Garden’s Zuppa Toscana, her version of Italian Wedding Meatball Soup, and her very own version of quick Homemade Baguettes. These original no-fail recipes created by your 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 Tess, interact with others, 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. You 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 Tess's personal recipes is provided. Note: Tess's recipes are copyrighted and are only shared with those who register for this class which will take place on Zoom; a free online software. You will receive instructions on how to access the class prior to it starting. As an added bonus, your instructor has created a private group and a public group on Facebook for participants of her cooking classes. Everyone will receive an optional invite to the groups. Come join the fun! Note: one registration fee for this virtual interactive class can include immediate family members living full-time in the same home only. If children are participating, adult supervision is required. If friends, adult children, or extended family members are gathering for a fun night together, each household must register separately even if participating together.
