Riesling Onion Soup with Herbed Croutons
18 ingredients
openrecipes
The Riesling wines produced on the Mendocino coast of California are light but full flavored, and they have a pure, buttery aftertaste that pairs nicely with the onions, leeks, tarragon and fontina cheese in this recipe. Avoid Rieslings labeled "late harvest" as they are too sweet for this soup. When serving the soup, pour a dry Riesling alongside.
