This savory apple soup for two gets body from Yukon Gold potatoes and a touch of heat from paprika. Float some cocktail shrimp or a mound of lump crabmeat in each bowl to make it a main course.

Perfect This was my first time making a pureed soup. Filling and rich and very comforting. Super easy. Used a granny smith apple and cottage cheese instead of sour cream. Also added a LOT more salt and thyme and topped with shredded sharp cheddar. My four year old devoured it! Pros: Easy Read More

This was wonderful for me. Unfortunately my audience was not as impressed. To me it tasted like spring. Light and lovely. Read More

Okay. I was born in Hungary and I've lived here since then but I've never met this soup before. But it could be great though I've just thought I write my observation.:) Read More

This was a great combo except I used a red skinned sweet potato no oil (softened the onion in the stock). Was delicious thought I may try topping it with some crisp bacon next time. Read More

This soup was fantastic! I used a sweet potato Granny Smith apple green pepper instead of celery and fat free sour cream. I also didn't add any extra salt. It blended nicely in the blender (be carfeful of the pressure that builds up) and had a nice creamy texture. I will definitely make this again and again! Read More

WOW!!! This was really good. I thought the combo was a bit unusual but decided to try it anyway. Used a Gala apple and left the skin on it and the potato. Blended up nicely. Try it the soup is really good and creamy. Read More

Delicious! This soup was extremely good. Once I got through all the "finely chopping " it was really easy to put together. I used a Golden Delicious Apple and next time will probably just go for the fat-free sour cream. Highly recommend! Read More
