What wines pair best with soup? (updated)

One of the few food and drink combinations I don’t feel that happy about is wine and soup. Not all soups, obviously, but many of them.

A simple spring supper for 4

This is the kind of easy meal I like to make for friends. The soup can be made in advance (or buy one of the excellent ready made chilled soups there are nowadays and dress it up with some fresh herbs), the steak is finished in the oven and the dessert literally takes minutes.

@ellypear @essexeating, @ppopss and I had afternoon tea yesterday rather than going out (cos still 5 days to payday) and as you can see it was an absolute feast. Elly was road-testing a Mother’s Day cake with a lemon, mascarpone and white chocolate frosting (see her recent reel) and Dan made a pitch perfect leek tart. The less said about my scones the better. Followed a new recipe which turned out more like a cobbler. At least I provided some very drinkable pet nat. (💯 yes to wine at tea time!) All in all a great afternoon with the added bonus of #cake for breakfastWinner winner chicken dinner @bistro_vin_perdu in Ashburton. Yes, those are chicken fat potatoes …shared with @susyatkins I hasten to say. (The chicken was too!) #roastchicken #chicken #roastpotatoes #ashburtonDespite me being old enough to be her mum @rosiefoodie and I have a lot in common on top of our spookily similar surnames. We love food (obviously), we both used to have national newspaper columns and are now ardent devotees of Substack and we’re inveterate travellers. Tune in at 11am GMT tomorrow, March 19th on the Substack app to pick up tips on cooking, writing, surviving and thriving as a freelance and finding affordable and delicious wines!Me applying myself to what I laughably call my job 🙄 Two highlights from the remarkable meal @osiprestaurant - the salad with smoked eel and eel mayonnaise and the soft as butter (my description, not the wording on the menu) hot smoked trout. Then what looks like a minor massacre on the tablecloth when I failed to demolish the beetroot taco in one bite. Great lunch, great company in the form of fellow Bristolian @5oclockapron. Thanks @merlin_johnson for the treat. #guest Follow on Instagram
