Do you have a garden brimming with fresh vegetables, or a fridge full of produce just past its prime? Join Thea West for this workshop as she shares her steps to make easy, healthy and tasty soups using ingredients grown in our very own gardens, or hiding out in our fridges.

We will make Ukrainian Borscht (Beet Soup) and/or Tomato Basil Soup.

During this fun workshop we will also touch on topics such as making your own stock, tips and hacks for prepping your ingredients, and canning or freezing your soup. Plus how to turn your soup into a hardy dinner for the whole family.
