Green Apple Soup

The idea of making soup from an apple might sound weird since we mostly use Apples in pies, smoothies, crumble recipes. Trust me this soup is such a comfort food during winters. The natural tart & crispiness in the Green Apples are perfectly balanced with our Indian spices. Moreover Green Apples are rich in antioxidants, dietry fibre and has various other health benefits. I haven’t removed the skin of these apples while cooking since the nutrients are present in their skin too. Marks & Spencer is our goto place to buy fresh fruits. These apples are from M&S too.

The recipe is adapted from BBCGoodFood website. The original one uses cauliflower, fresh herbs like thyme along with apples but I didn’t use cauliflower.

The same recipe can be followed with the regular apples too however the soup will be on the sweeter side. I shall try it out sometime and update here with my opinion. I am sure this soup can be served to kids & toddlers too, they will like it. With toasted garlic bread this can be one whole balanced meal. The following measurement yields a bowl of soup as shown in the pictures below. Kindly increase or decrease quantity according to your needs.
