This soup is thick, rich, and full of bold flavors and spices. It matches best with a full-bodied, aromatic wine that is both complimented and heightened by spice. Our 2013 Old Vine Chardonnay, with its sharpness and slight oak, fits this bill nicely. It is intense enough in flavor to hold its own against the boldness of the soup, while still maintaining the balance of sweetness in the soup.
Ingredients
  • 1 Butternut Squash
  • 2 Large Carrots
  • 3 Stalks of Celery
  • 1 Large White Onion
  • 1 Apple (Honeycrisp is best)
