This comforting Apple Cheddar Soup combines the sweetness of apples with the sharpness of cheddar cheese, creating a creamy and flavorful dish perfect for chilly days. The soup starts by cooking apples and onions until tender, blending them with savory broth for a smooth base, then finished by stirring in rich cheddar cheese for a luscious texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Dairy

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Pantry

  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté Apples and Onions: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Blend with Broth: Transfer the cooked apples and onions into a blender. Add the broth and blend until smooth. Pour the blended mixture back into the pot.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Place the pot back on medium heat and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add Cheese and Cream: Lower the heat to medium-low and gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts completely. Then add the cream, stirring until fully incorporated and the soup is creamy and smooth.
  5. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot, garnished with extra cheese or apple slices if desired.

Notes

  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a strong, tangy flavor.
  • For a thinner soup, add more broth to reach desired consistency.
  • Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
  • Can be garnished with fresh herbs like thyme or chives for added aroma.
  • This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich.
