chowder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'soup' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'food with wine turning up' is the wordplay.
'food with' becomes 'chow' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'wine' becomes 'red' (red wine is a kind of wine).
'turning up' is a reversal indicator.
'red' in reverse letter order is 'der'.
'chow'+'der'='CHOWDER'

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chowder that I've seen before include "possible first course?" , "Clam stew, soup" , "clammy" , "dish in America" , "Rich soup with fish, clams etc." .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
