Wine and cheese lovers, rejoice!

Off the top of my head, without hesitation, I can list my favorite foods and drinks.

Cheese

Bread

Dark Chocolate

Wine

I love all of the above.  I love them all equally.  I could eat them everyday for the rest of my life and be a very happy woman.  I prefer the good quality stuff, but I can joyfully make do with the basics.

Slow down, you say.  We’re supposed to be talking about soup here.

Ohhh, but I am.  A soup so delicious, so perfect for the wine & cheese enthusiast, that I almost have to remind myself that I’m not dreaming.

Today, folks, I’ll introduce you to a (not so secret) love of mine.  Cheese & Wine Soup.  Yup, you read that right.  Get ready to fall head over heels.

It’s so simple to make, you’ll wonder why you haven’t already made it.  It’s so delicious, you’ll be almost confused on how you haven’t tasted it before.

You can whip this soup up in about an hour.  For the best of the best, grab the nicest chunk of sharp cheddar you can spring for.  Your tastebuds will thank you for it 🙂

Serve this soup immediately.  Cut up a loaf of fresh crusty bread and get to dipping.  It’s perfect.  Think port wine cheese – but far more refined, lighter, creamier and in soup form.

Oh, how I love this Cheese & Wine Soup and I’m betting you will too!  Enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by!
