Chilled Edamame Soup with Ginger Crème Fraîche
One of the basic rules of pairing wines with food is that rich dishes match well with wines that have good acidity. This silky soup—a simple puree of onion, edamame and chicken stock—is no exception. “I love to sip a grower Champagne with this,” Peter Kasperski says, referring to the smaller Champagne brands that come from individual estates rather than the major houses. The floral Pierre Peters Cuvée Reserve NV Brut is one of his favorites; also look for the slightly richer Aubry NV Brut.
