Cozy Soups for Fall (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Cooking -
Adult Enrichment Fall 2025

One of the secrets to contentment is eating with the seasons: heartier in winter; lighter in the warm months. Join Jan for an evening of making winter and fall soups that are not meat-heavy unless you want them to be: Curried kabocha squash; bean-vegetable; winter minestrone with pasta: lentil with cream, walnuts, and cumin. You'll learn about soup pots, layering techniques, choosing vegetables and meats for your soups, upping umami. Bring closed containers to take home leftovers.

If class is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available or we are able to add additional sections.
