Woodside members and guests enjoyed a delicious meal and cooking demonstration last night at Collection, Celina Tio’s concept in the Crossroads, 1532 Grand. During the 4 course meal, she demonstrated some simple and healthy recipes, including this spicy carrot soup, to share with our members. This dish was served with pickled shrimp, but they can be substituted or eliminated to keep it a vegan dish if desired. Other substitutions include using beef stock for a richer flavor, or adding other vegetables such as squash or cauliflower. Enjoy!
