I have a recipe for yummy lentil soup but calls for 1/2 cup red cooking wine, it makes a huge pot. I know we can't drink alcohol, but is cooking with ok? Thanks!

I think some of the recipes for P1 in the SB book have wine in them. It is a pretty small amount, but it sounds like a 1/2 cup in a vat of soup wouldn't have much effect.

Yes, you can go ahead and cook with wine.

Thanks everyone! I will be making soup today, after I check the sugar content!
