Beverage Pairings

Wine

Chianti — the bright acidity and bold tannins can stand up to the hearty, spicy sausage and creamy broth.

Beer

Amber Ale — the caramelized malt flavors complement the smoky bacon and earthy kale.

Non-Alcoholic

Herbal iced tea — the aromatic herbs and subtle sweetness provide a refreshing contrast to the robust soup.
