Soups & Bread Bowls: Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup, Beer Cheese Soup, & Italian Bread BOWLS! (Instant Pot® or Stove Top)

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 Italian Bread BOWLS!

Choose one soup for your cook-along, and watch a demonstration of the other or choose to make both! It’s up to you! Both will pair perfectly served IN the amazing Italian Bread BOWLS we will be making from scratch! You will feel so accomplished!

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. The instructor 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 they 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: Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup, Beer Cheese Soup, and Wonderful Homemade Italian Bread BOWLS (baked in the oven). These original delicious no-fail recipes created by the instructor will become family favorites guaranteed!

Have your questions answered by the instructor, interact with other participants as you cook along, 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.

Participants will receive a list of ingredients in advance of the class with enough time for shopping and preparation. A professionally made PDF packet of the Instructors Personal Recipes from this class will also be received.

This class will take place on Zoom; free online software. Participants will receive instructions on how to access the class prior to it starting.

As an added bonus, the instructor has created a private group and a public group on Facebook for participants of her cooking classes. Everyone will receive an invite to the groups although joining is optional. Come join the fun!

Tess Georgakopoulos

Tess Georgakopoulos has been cooking for well over 40 years since she was roughly 6 years old. Born into a Greek family, the art of cooking traditional meals using ones senses rather than recipes and measurements was passed on from one generation to the next. Her father was also a trained chef who brought the magic of food to life in another form on the weekends as they cooked elaborate family meals together. Food prepared from the heart, with ones own hands and creativity was, and continues to be an expression of love in her home. As a skilled home cook and baker, Tess enjoys creating original recipes for her family and friends. Sweet, savory, or doughy, she enjoys experimenting and creating in the kitchen daily.

Pressure-cooking with a stovetop cooker has been a part of her culinary repertoire for over 25 years. Tess is creating new recipes and reinventing traditional ones using the Instant Pot, which is taking her pressure-cooking to another level! She has been teaching both in-person and on-line cooking classes through community education for a number of years having worked with numerous public school districts in and around the Twin Cities. Tess has recently started writing her first cookbook, and her food blog is also in the works! Some of her creations can be seen on her Facebook page @dishitupgood https://www.facebook.com/dishitupgood/or on her Instagram Feed: Dish it up Good.
