COURSE #3: SOUP MASTERCLASS

There’s nothing quite like a pot of homemade soup simmering away in the kitchen, but truly great soup is about much more than tossing ingredients into a pot. Soup Masterclass is a full-featured cooking course designed to teach you the techniques, flavour-building skills and kitchen confidence needed to create incredible homemade soups from scratch.

You GET: 365-Day Access to online video instruction for all of the following 3 modules, 12 lessons, and 15 downloadable printable recipes:

Across three modules and twelve different soups, Chef Dez will take you from rich and velvety cream soups to substantial hearty favourites and internationally inspired classics. Along the way, you’ll learn how to build layers of flavour, work with aromatics, develop proper consistency and texture, balance seasonings, thicken soups, work with dairy, purée successfully, and understand how ingredients and cooking techniques come together to create a memorable bowl of soup. 

And because a great bowl of soup deserves some great bread for dipping, several lessons also include homemade biscuits!

Module #1: Cream Soups

We begin with the luxurious world of cream soups, where you’ll discover how to create smooth, rich and flavourful soups without losing the character of the ingredients that make each one unique.

You’ll prepare comforting Potato Leek, earthy Cream of Mushroom, rich and cheesy Broccoli Cheddar, and vibrant Creamy Tomato Basil.

Throughout the module, you’ll develop techniques that can become the foundation for countless other cream soups, giving you the confidence to start creating combinations of your own.

Module #2: Hearty Soups

Now we bring out the bigger bowls! This module is devoted to satisfying soups with enough substance and personality to become the centrepiece of the meal.

You’ll make aromatic Mulligatawny, accompanied by homemade 7-Up Biscuits, before diving into The Ultimate Clam Chowder. Next comes Zuppa Toscana, paired with homemade Rosemary Parmesan Biscuits, followed by a hearty and flavour-packed Black Bean Soup.

These recipes will help you explore how different ingredients, textures and cooking methods can transform soup from a starter into a complete and satisfying meal.

Module #3: World Soups

Grab your soup pot because we’re taking it travelling! 🌎 This module explores soup traditions and flavours inspired by different parts of the world.

You’ll prepare Brazilian Shrimp Soup, followed by the Scottish classic Cock-a-Leekie, accompanied by homemade Oat Biscuits. Then we head to France for deeply satisfying French Onion Soup, before finishing in Italy with the much-loved Italian Wedding Soup.

Beyond the recipes themselves, this module gives you an opportunity to see just how dramatically the concept of “soup” changes across cuisines while many of the fundamental cooking principles remain the same.

More Than 12 Soup Recipes

Soup Masterclass isn’t simply a collection of recipes. The goal is to help you understand the building blocks behind great soup so you can eventually look into your refrigerator or pantry and think, “I can make a soup out of that.”

Throughout the course, Chef Dez will share professional cooking techniques, practical kitchen tips, ingredient knowledge, soup trivia, history and fun food facts, helping you understand not only how to make these recipes, but why the techniques work.

By the end of the course, you’ll have worked through three complete modules featuring twelve soups plus three homemade biscuit recipes, while building a foundation of soup-making skills you can use again and again.

Creamy. Hearty. International. From the first chop of an onion to the final taste for seasoning, Soup Masterclass is all about transforming humble ingredients into extraordinary bowls of homemade comfort. 🥣
