Hurry, while it is still cold, make this soup.
This recipe’s flavor profile combines caramelized onions with potatoes, Parmesan and a bit of cream. What’s not too like?
I think the soup is rich enough to pair with a green salad and good bread to make a meal. And I suggest serving with an acidic wine like a sauvignon blanc to offset the cream.
Stay warm and cozy this winter, and enjoy! -alyce eyster
