Instructions

Add 1 cup of broccoli stock to milk mixture; stir until well blended. Gradually add remaining broccoli stock to milk mixture.
Heat and stir until well-blended. Season with salt and pepper.
Recommended wine: Sparkling Wine, Sparkling Rose
Antipasti works really well with Sparkling Wine and Sparkling rosé. If you're serving a selection of appetizers, you can't go wrong with these. Both are very food friendly and complement a variety of flavors. The Raptor Ridge Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 46 dollars per bottle.

Front end silkiness leads to a mouthful of dusky cherry, cranberry and spice. Elevated acids and robust tannins offer age-worthiness and an arresting addition to your cellar. Pair with: Tea-smoked duck breast with cherry reduction soy and ginger marinated tri tip roast baked ham with cranberry glaze.
