The First Thing I Learned to Cook/ by Lise Beudette, Andra Catering

Not halibut baked in paper… that was later.

Not the bread… that was later

Not the pie… that was later.

Growing up in Montreal, soup was always there.  Every meal, every day of the week, you always started with soup.

So that’s probably what I made for the first time.

Shop for a soup bone or a chicken carcass.  Throw in all those vegetables.  Make a nice stock.  It has to be a vegetable soup: carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes…  We used everything in season- just like we do now. Serve with a nice crusty baguette and that would be your meal!
