Recipe Notes

Wine Recommendation: Tassel Ridge Iowa Edelweiss

Iowa Edelweiss is a semi-sweet white wine with the scent of ripe pineapple followed by hints of mandarin orange, pear, and pineapple on the palate. Made entirely from Edelweiss grapes grown in Mahaska County, Iowa, this wine will complement this well-seasoned soup. Serve chilled.
