Ginger Carrot Soup
Two Mountain Riesling is not sweet, but rather very fruity with nice acidity. The brightness of the wine, floral aromatics, and the crisp mouthfeel compliment the spice of the ginger and onion, while balancing the depth of the carrots and the freshness of the cilantro. The two together make for a perfect combination of end of summer and beginning of fall flavors.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 lb carrots, chopped
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 1 Inch ginger, peeled
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- salt and pepper
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1⁄4 cup pepitas
DIRECTIONS:
- Cook carrots and onion in olive oil until tender.
- Add ginger & broth and bring to a boil.
- Once carrots are fork tender, purée with an immersion blender, or in a blender in batches. Top with cilantro and pepitas.
- Serve with slightly chilled glass of Two Mountain Riesling!
