Super Soup Recipes

We're happy to share a few of the recipes for the Souper Soups that we enjoyed during our special event a few weeks ago.

The Creamy Sweet Potato Soup recipe, originally a recipe from Bon Appetit magazine, was found on the Internet.  The recipe can be found here.

Apple Pie Soup

This fun soup slowly cooks in a crock pot.  Once it's done cooking, process in a food processor until smooth.  Refrigerate until serving time.  Garnish with heavy cream and walnuts.
1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cloves

1 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 cups water

3 cups apple cider

4 large Granny Smith, peeled, cored and sliced

2/3 cup raisins
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons honey
1 cup vanilla yogurt
Heavy cream, whipped and chopped nuts (garnish)
Combine the spices, water, cider, apple slices and raisins in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 hours or until apples are quite soft. Puree the soup in a food processor, a partial batch at a time, until all the apples and raisins are pureed. Stir in the lemon juice and honey.  Just before serving, blend in vanilla yogurt.  Garnish as desired.
