Matching wine and soup
Posted on January 16 2022 at 07:41
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. It has as much to do with the type of food soup is (wholesome and comforting) as its texture and temperature. If you’re having a bowl of soup on its own or as the main component of a light meal it seems superfluous to drink wine with it. Soup, unless it is virtually thick enough to stand a spoon in, doesn’t really need another liquid to accompany it. Especially if that liquid is chilled.
