This is a wonderful and easy soup to make with a unique flavor of apples. Once you have everything prepped and ready, it comes together in a snap! Note: Calvados is a dry apple brandy made in the Normandy region of France. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1 leek, including 1 inch of green cleaned and finely diced |
1 granny smith apple, peeled and finely diced |
2 tablespoons calvados (apple brandy) |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
5 cups chicken broth (stock) |
1 cup apple juice (or cider) |
12 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes |
2 cups egg noodles |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1/4 cup gruyere cheese, grated |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon white pepper |
1/4 cup chives (for garnish) |
Directions:
1. Heat butter in a saucepan. Add leeks and Granny Smith apple, cover and simmer until tender, for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the Calvados and reduce until almost evaporated. Stir in the cider vinegar, broth, apple cider and bring to a simmer.
3. Add the chicken and egg noodles to the broth, cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in the heavy cream, Gruyere and season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chives.
