My Favorite Cold Pineapple Soup and Keeping Wine Fresh

This chilled fresh pineapple soup with basil and cojita cheese is a delicious summer soup. It pairs beautifully with cold white wine.

This pineapple gazpacho is filled with fun flavors from dates, basil, limes, coconut, and of course the juicy ripe pineapple.

I have been making cold soup recipes for a long time now. They are the perfect summer soup! Chilled soups can come in a variety of flavors based on if you use savory vegetables or sweet fruits. You can even combine the two for a unique cold soup! Pair this cold pineapple soup with an even balanced white wine, and it is magic!

If you know me, you know I LOVE wine! I write a lot about wine and pairings on Fearless Dining.

Mr. Fearless Dining doesn’t drink wine very often, but I have 2-3 glasses a week. This means a wine bottle can take 5+ days for me to finish. What really happens is I drink two glasses of wine from a bottle, then I end up dumping the rest down the kitchen sink because it went bad.

This wouldn’t be the end of the world, but to be honest, I love good wine. Cheap wine…dump away, but we belong to several wine clubs and it kills me to dump good wine!

Why would I have to dump wine? A normal bottle of wine will only keep for a couple of days. Nothing is worse than when you can’t finish a bottle and the wine goes bad. Talk about a waste of money!!

When zzysh® asked me to try their wine preservation kit, I knew it could help solve my problem! If I could make wine last longer, not only would I save money, but I could open a bottle of wine without worry.

(And don’t think this is only for wine. zzysh® has a special kit for champagne too!)

zzysh® is designed to preserve taste, flavor, color, and fizz by sealing and replacing the air inside the bottle with a highly pure, protective atmosphere. For wine, it uses the inert gas argon and for sparkling wine, argon/CO2. With that protective barrier in the wine bottle, wine keeps a lot longer.

How long will zzysh® keep your wine fresh?

Weeks, until you open the bottle again. You will never feel guilty wasting a good wine again!

If you would like to try zzysh® for yourself, use this code: getyourzzysh to save 20%.

The zzysh® system is so easy to use.

Snap the special top onto your open wine bottle. Push it down until it can’t go any further!

It will stay in your bottle!

Next snap in the special hand piece. This is where the magic happens. When you press it down for 3-4 seconds, it releases the preserving inert argon into the bottle. You can open the bottle and pour yourself a glass of wine, then reseal with another blast of inert argon.

There is a different product for sparkling wine called zzysh® Champagne. The steps are the same but instead of only releasing argon, it uses a mixture of argon and CO2. Now that you know you can open a bottle anytime with no guilt, let’s talk about the chilled soup!

This chilled pineapple soup aka pineapple gazpacho is a soup your whole family will love. It has simple ingredients and is guaranteed to be devoured by your kids. How often can you say that about a soup?

My picky one even loved this soup. Of course, I did not tell her there was fresh basil (something green!) or dates in this soup. Sometimes it is better to keep those secrets to myself.

Are you ready to make this soup for yourself?
