For today’s South Arm Older Adults Community Kitchen, we made cookies for the annual South Arm Fund Raiser for the Richmond Food Bank. Of course, we also whipped up a simple meal of soup and salad for the participants.
Michelle shared a quick and easy Greek Soup recipe called Fassolada.
This soup can be versatile in a way that you can add more broth for an extra helping. Some crusty bread and a side salad will made it a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 3 carrots, chopped
