Cauliflower soup is a creamy, comforting dish made by simmering cauliflower, carrots, celery, and onion in chicken stock and milk. The vegetables are softened and then blended until smooth. Cheddar cheese, butter, and a touch of lemon add richness and depth to the soup, while the salty flavor enhances the natural sweetness of the cauliflower.

For this creamy and savory Cauliflower Soup, a white wine like Greco or a light-bodied red like Pinot Noir would pair well. The Greco's crisp acidity and subtle fruit notes will complement the soup's rich, buttery texture, while the Pinot Noir's delicate earthy undertones will enhance the flavors of the vegetables. A sparkling wine could also cut through the richness and refresh the palate.
