Suggestions / Recipe Tips
Any variety of apples will work for this recipe. I prefer something more tart, but hey, sweet works too.
Fresh apple cider is best. This is the perfect time of year to find some in markets and grocery stores.
Cinnamon and ginger are perfect for any fall recipe. You can play around with the amount, or add some cloves into the mix. Apple pie seasoning is also a great option.
Onion broth can be replaced with chicken broth.
Dried apples for garnish are such a great addition to this soup. You can also try dried cranberries or pumpkin seeds too.
Bacon oil adds such a nice little touch at the end. This is completely optional.
I used an immersion blender, but you can also use a regular blender. In a pinch, a potato masher will do, but the soup will not have the applesauce consistency.
This soup will last for several days stored in the fridge. Easily reheat in a pot on the stove or the microwave.

Apple soup is certainly thinking outside the box! I think it’s a great idea! We grow lots of apples, so I’m going to try this.

Hope you do….it is a different and tasty twist on apples.

Bacon flavoured olive oil? Excuse me for a second while I do a happy dance – amazing idea and where do I get it? I think this soup sounds wonderful and very unique. A few years ago I hosted an Apple dinner where every item and course was made with apples. I too had apple chips and chicken patee with apples, apple cheddar bread, apple-onion chutney, cider braised ribs, apple pie and apple ice cream. I am sure I’m missing something too
Chef G
That sounds like it would have been a very tasty dinner.
