Celebrate National Soup Month with a comforting lineup of artisan soups designed to keep you warm through the coldest weeks of winter. There is nothing quite like a steaming bowl built with deep, layered aromatics, but achieving the velvety texture of a bistro soup without heavy flouriness or balancing a rich legume chili requires foundational technique. Join Chef Za for an evening dedicated to mastering winter comfort in a bowl.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the secrets of sweating and deeply caramelizing onions, pureeing root vegetables to luxurious silkiness, and building complex, spiced broths. You'll also learn the timing behind perfectly emulsified melted cheese bases and bake bakery-quality accompaniments from scratch—from tender, skillet-baked cornbread to golden, crunchy seasoned croutons. You'll head home ready to transform simple pantry staples into simmering winter centerpieces.

What's on the Menu:

Caramelized Onion & Potato Soup: Rich, velvety, and deeply savory. Slow-caramelized onions are folded into creamy pureed potatoes with fresh thyme and cracked black pepper for pure cold-weather comfort.

Chicken & White Bean Chili: Hearty and soul-warming. Tender pulled chicken and creamy cannellini beans simmered with roasted poblano chilies, sweet corn, and aromatic warm spices.

Classic Broccoli Cheddar Soup: A beloved staple elevated. Tender, vibrant broccoli florets simmered in a velvety sharp cheddar cheese broth with just a touch of nutmeg.

Fresh Jalapeño Cheddar Cornbread: Golden and crumbly. Scratch-baked with sweet cornmeal, sharp aged cheddar, and a gentle kick of fresh diced jalapeño.

Homemade Herbed Garlic Croutons: Golden, buttery, and crisp. Crusty artisan bread tossed in extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh herbs, baked until shatteringly crisp.

The evening ends with sitting down together to ladle out generous bowls and savor every comforting bite. Pull up a chair and discover why Chef Za's winter soups are the ultimate cure for the winter chill.
