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

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

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

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

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

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
