Cup of Yum
Notes
- Any dry white wine like Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc.
- I pick this up in the refrigerated cheese and dairy section of my market.
- This is a broth soup, if you'd like it a little thicker mix together 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch and make a slurry with cold water. Add to soup, stir and cook for 2-3 more minutes until thickened.
