IN THIS ISSUE, we renew our love of hot soups with a focus on healthy, smooth soups that are filling and fulfilling any day of the week. You'll find soup basics, tips for making better soup, three soups to try, and some new ways to accessorize your soup for a super supper.

Saturday, October 22 - Lasagna Soup with Easy Bread Sticks with Margaret Welder

Saturday, November 5th - "Almost Hands-Free" Risotto
with Becky Ringsby
Rich, creamy, comforting risotto. . . sounds good, but who's got the time? For the best texture, classic risotto can demand at least half an hour of tedious stovetop stirring! Becky will show you a method that requires less than five minutes of total stirring, yet produces the same amazing results. Becky's slightly-sweet Pumpkin Biscuits are the perfect companion to the risotto and may become your new favorite biscuit for the upcoming holidays or anytime!
