Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Wine Advice:
Pair this luscious Cauliflower & Walnut Soup with a light-bodied white wine like a Chardonnay or a Pinot Gris. The wine’s crisp acidity will cut through the creamy texture of the soup, and its fruity notes will complement the subtle sweetness of the cauliflower. Cheers to a delightful and comforting meal!
