This is a nice autumn soup to make after going apple-picking. Uses simple ingredients. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
3 tart apples, peeled, cored, and chopped |
1 large potato, peeled and diced |
2 stalks celery, chopped |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme |
1/4 cup white wine |
3 1/2 cups chicken broth or 3 1/2 cups vegetable broth |
3 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1/3 cup milk |
2 tablespoons flour |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
Directions:
1. In large saucepan, heat oil. Add apples, potato, celery, onion, and thyme. Saute 10 minutes.
2. Stir in wine and simmer 2 minutes; add broth and simmer about 40-45 minutes or until everything is very tender.
3. Using a blender or food processor, puree soup mixture, but leave just a little bit lumpy. Return to saucepan.
4. Over very low heat, stir in cheese and cream.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together milk and flour; add to soup and stir. Add nutmeg, and pepper. Cook just until heated through-do not boil or cheese will curdle.
6. Serve.
