{Tasty} Tuesday

Fall is in full swing around here in every possible way.  I've switched out our wardrobes, shoes & recipes.  Is there really a better fall recipe than a soup?  I think not; especially when its an easy one!

Pumpkin & Apple Soup

2 Tbs Unsalted Butter

1 Medium Onion, chopped

2 Golden Delicious Apples, peeled, cored & cut into 1/8's

2 (15oz) Cans Pumpkin

4 Cups Chicken Broth

1 1/2 Cups Water

1 Bay Leaf

1 tsp Ground Coriander

1/2 tsp Salt

1/8-1/4 tsp Crushed Re Pepper Flakes

1/2 Cup Heavy Cream

Over medium heat, melt butter.  Add onion & apples, stirring occasionally until softened.  About 10 minutes.

Stir in pumpkin, broth, water, bay leaf, coriander, salt & red pepper flakes.  Bring to a simmer & reduce the heat to med-low.

Cook covered, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.  

Let the fragrances of fall fill your kitchen!

Remove from heat (remove bay leaf) & puree until smooth.  Stir in cream & then return to heat just to heat through.

If you don't have one of these bad boys you can puree in batches in a blender.

Garnish & serve.  

Some garnish options are: yogurt, chestnuts & chives.  

I used goat cheese this time & it was really yummy!

Enjoy!
