Bonnies Hot Or Chilled Apple Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Peel, core and quarter 6 apples. Combine with apple juice, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon stick and vanilla in large saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until apples are very soft, about 20 minutes. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate 24 hours. Remove cinnamon stick. Add orange juice and whipping cream to apples and puree in batches in blender until smooth. Pour into chilled tureen. Shred remaining 2 apples (unpeeled) and stir into soup along with liqueur. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Over medium heat saute the shallots in the grapeseed oil for about 5 minutes until the shallots are translucent. Allow to cool completely and then combine with the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and puree to smooth consistency. Strain through a fine mesh strainer and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. If the soup is too thick, add more vegetable stock.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain; let cool slightly, then roughly chop. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings from the pot.
• Increase the heat under the pot to medium high. Add the onion, apples and potato and cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken broth, apple juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potato is soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the cheddar until melted. Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree. Return to the pot and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Spread the bread with the mustard and sprinkle with the reserved 2 tablespoons cheese. Broil until the cheese melts, about 30 seconds, then cut into 1-inch squares. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the bacon, chives, cheese croutons and more pepper.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the onions and fry gently until softened. Add the cauliflower and diced apple and fry for 5 more mins. Add the stock cubes and milk and bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 mins, or until the cauliflower and apples are tender.
• Use a hand blender or liquidiser to purée the soup until smooth and season (the soup can now be chilled for up to 48 hours or frozen, just reheat to serve). Divide into bowls and swirl 1 tbsp cream in each along with a drizzle of oil. Top with the apple matchsticks and thyme.

Steps:

• Combine the water, apples, raisins, spices, salt and honey in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and stir in the bread. Cover and simmer one hour. The bread will fall apart and thicken the soup.
• Remove from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice and yogurt. Serve hot or warm, or chill and serve cold. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt and a thin slice of lemon.

Steps:

• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a pot.
• Add the leeks, cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
• Add the 5 cups of apples and cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes more.
• Add the stock and the potatoes; bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 45 minutes.
• Puree in blender or food processor or (the easy way) with an immersion blender.
• Stir in the vcreme fraishe or cream, the Calvados and cinnamon and season to taste with salt and pepper (remember the soup will be eaten cold which will diminish the salt).
• Refrigerate for at least three hours.
• Just prior to serving, saute the apple die in the remaining butter until it begins to soften.
• Garnish the soup with the aple dice.
