Potato and Apple Soup

    I'm shifting gears.  I'm moving away from the outdoor grill and from searching my vegetable garden for tonight's dinner.  I'm ready for meals that can be made in one pot on top of my stove.  I'm anxious to turn on the oven, not only to bake, but to take the chill out of the air.  I've been eying this recipe for Potato and Apple Soup all summer; waiting to pounce on it once hot soup for dinner no longer sounded oppressive.  And this was just the ticket!  It's a soup that will ease you into fall - light and crisp.  And a wonderful way to introduce locally-grown apples into your menus.

• 2 teaspoons butter
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 onion, roughly chopped
• 1 apple, peeled, cored and roughly chopped (suggestions: Empire, McIntosh, Spartan)
• 1 pound (about 2 large) potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 3 cups organic chicken stock
• 1 cup sweet apple cider
• salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
• grated extra-sharp cheddar, to garnish
• sautéed diced apple, to garnish

1.  Heat butter and oil together in a large pot on medium-hi heat until butter is melted.  Add onion, apple and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally until golden and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
2.  Add potatoes, chicken stock and cider and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
3.  Purée soup in batches in a food processor or blender until smooth.  Add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with cheddar and sautéed apples.

This recipe sounds great! I'm missing the potatoes and chicken stock from the list of ingredients though. How much of each do we add? Thanks!

Yummy! Such are the pleasures of fall!

I made a pot of butternut squash and apple soup, roasting the squash with onions in the oven.

Not too bad - it is a little sweet, so my DH didn't like it that much. I added sauteed spinach and chicken sausage and red pepper flakes to add a little heft. Thanks for the recipe!
