Head of cauliflower in potato soup - that should keep you warm in winter (7)
I believe the answer is:
topcoat
'head of cauliflower in potato soup that should keep you warm in winter' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'head of cauliflower in potato soup' is the wordplay.
'head of' suggests taking the first letters.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'soup' indicates an anagram.
The initial letter of 'cauliflower' is 'c'.
'potato' anagrammed gives 'topoat'.
'c' going inside 'topoat' is 'TOPCOAT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
