Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium tart apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder adjust to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large heavy-bottomed pot
  • Immersion blender or regular blender
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. Add the chopped apples to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their aroma.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the apples are very soft.
  4. Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth and velvety. Alternatively, transfer carefully to a blender and blend in batches.
  5. Stir in the ground cinnamon and chili powder, tasting and adjusting the chili for desired heat level. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Simmer the soup for another 5 minutes to let the flavors meld. The soup should be warm, fragrant, and slightly thickened.
  7. Serve the soup hot in bowls, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of cream if desired. The smooth, vibrant orange soup is ready to enjoy.

Notes

You can adjust the level of chili spice to suit your heat tolerance. For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of coconut milk or cream before serving.
