Fall Delight: Warm and Cozy Apple Cranberry Soup Recipe

Warm and Cozy Apple Cranberry Soup

Today, I am excited to share a unique fall recipe that captures the essence of the season. This Warm and Cozy Apple Cranberry Soup is perfect for chilly evenings when you want something comforting and flavorful to warm you up. The combination of sweet apples and tart cranberries creates a deliciously balanced soup that is sure to become a new fall favorite.

Ingredients:

• 3 medium apples, peeled and diced
• 1 cup fresh cranberries
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped
• 1 large carrot, chopped
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup water

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• immersion blender
• knife
• cutting board

To start, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot, and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Then, add the diced apples, cranberries, vegetable broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pepper, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the apples and cranberries are soft.

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can leave some of the ingredients whole or use a regular blender in batches. Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more salt or pepper if needed.

This Warm and Cozy Apple Cranberry Soup is best served warm, garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of cinnamon. It has a lovely texture and a perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors that will leave you feeling cozy and satisfied.

One unique tip for this soup is to add a splash of apple cider vinegar just before serving. It adds a subtle tanginess that enhances the flavors of the apples and cranberries, taking the soup to the next level.

I hope you give this recipe a try and enjoy the warmth and comfort it brings to your fall meals. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to make it your own. Bon appétit!
