Soupe Du Jour

Happy Friday Y'all. I worked at the cooking school last night. David Bull from the Driskill was the guest chef. It was my second class with him. He did a hands-on soup class where the people taking the class all had a hand in making the soups. There was no set menu, just whatever Chef Bull came up with after browsing the market.

Here's what they made: Chilled Tomato & Spinach Soup with Greek Yogurt, Oregano, Parmesan Crackers; Hot & Sour Soup with Snap Peas, Rice Noodles, and Squid; Cream of Potato Soup with Pork Sausage, Brioche Croutons, and Buttered Leek Puree.

I had Chef Bull sign my 2003 Food & Wine Magazine in which he was featured as one of the top ten new chefs. (I tried to attach my signed copy, but with no luck, but here's a link to what appeared in the mag).

There were five volunteers (plus Paul and Cindy were the house chefs on hand), so the work was easy and Volunteer Steve did almost all the dishes. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a few things last night.

I always leave there on such a high. I love being there. Cindy asked me to work again Saturday night, so if hubby isn't working I'll be there again. Paul told me I could just show up and work a class anytime (I'd be there every day if I could). Also Chef Bull told me when I was ready to change careers to give him a call (I'm sure he was just being nice)! But a girl can dream...
