Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup whole milk or cream
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1
Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
2
Cook the Base: Add the diced potatoes and apples to the pot. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
3
Add the Liquid: Pour in the vegetable broth, ensuring the potatoes and apples are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and apples are tender.
4
Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender, then return it to the pot.
5
Add the Cream and Seasoning: Stir in the milk or cream, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat gently over low heat, being careful not to boil.
6
Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers.
