Spring Seasonal Soup Pairings
Seasonal Soup Pairings
Sensational soups and toppers match up for winter and spring savory delights
A piping-hot bowl of soup is my favorite meal in the wintertime. Sunchokes, potatoes and leeks make for a silky purée, and local rye bread makes the perfect dipper when toasted with aged Monterey Jack cheese and fennel seeds. For a winter-to-spring pairing, lighten things up with a vibrant carrot soup swirled with garlicky pea and chive pistou.
Give either of these duos a try if you’re up for a change from cream of tomato and grilled cheese!
For a beverage pairing with your winter soup, enjoy a Belgian ale. In spring, try a crisp, dry hard cider.
Potato, Leek & Sunchoke Soup
The secret ingredient in this luscious interpretation of classic potato leek soup? Sunchokes. The knobby root vegetable elevates this perfect pairing with a subtle nutty note.
