Not bad! As much as I LOVE tomatoes I generally don't care for tomato-based soups but the thought of apples sounded fun so I thought I'd try this. I used a Granny Smith. I ended up adding the whole apple extra carrots & only 1/2 of the tomatoes. I also like a bit of crunch in my veggies (and fruits in this case!) so I left out some of the carrots & apples until just before pouring everying in the blender. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks!
The flavors were delicious! I think the apple added a nice sweetness to the soup. The pureed texture was not my favorite. My husband gave it a 3 based on the texture. It is a "refined" soup so to speak. My 9 month old and 2 1/2 year old loved it! I knew going into it that chunks would be nice but I wanted an easy meal to feed my little boys. It worked out nicely and I would definitely make it again!
Delicious! I used water instead of vegetable broth and topped with mozzarella cheese. We had no leftovers!
Really really good! For the people who are complaining about the texture being over-blended just don't blend it as much or reserve some chunks to add in later. I have a stick mixer and this really was no work at all. I served ours with the Crusty French Bread recipe by Deanna and it was delicious. The only thing I did was use the whole apple triple the basil (fresh) and top with crumbled cotija cheese. Thanks for the great soup idea!
Just okay. I thought the apple flavour would be more evident. In the end it just seemed like more work for a soup that was just okay.
I used chicken stock and a whole apple. I love how the carrots and apple enhance the tomato flavor. This went together very quickly and made an excellent warm lunch on a cold blustery day. I did garnish with a bit of grated Montery Jack which worked well. This will be a repeat feature on our winter menu.
This needs more apples. As it is there is not a taste of the apples in the soup which I would have liked.
I followed the original recipe with these exceptions. I used an entire apple 4 oz can of tomato paste and chose to not blend ingredients. About 20 minutes prior to serving I added 1/4 cup of cream sherry. The soup was thick chunky and delicious. I'll definitely make this again.
