Recipe Box, Autumn Apple Cheddar Soup
Aren’t apples one of the best symbols of Fall?
And when you think of the ultimate comfort food,
a bowl of hot soup and a sandwich has to come to mind…
The other night HHjr whipped up a pot of Apple Cheddar Soup
and served it with Bacon Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
Yes, it was a cheese overload, but it was so good!
The soup is made with apples, potatoes, onions, chicken broth
cheddar cheese and unsweetened apple juice
Saute the apples, onions and potatoes until the apples are soft,
about 8 minutes
Add broth and apple juice
Simmer for 10-12 minutes
Use an immersion blender and puree the soup
Add 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and stir until it melts
Season with salt and pepper to taste
Garnish with reserved cheese and crispy bacon

This looks divine! And so unique!
Jenna, I love any excuse to make a pot of soup. I agree with Pam, it is the ultimate comfort food. Your recipe sounds delicious! Thanks so much for sharing! Happy Sunday!
Yummy! That is definitely like having a bowl of autumn!
Thank you Martha!
This one looks to die for. Wow — Love these ingredients — they have to be great together (and with the grilled cheese, too!
Thanks Jeanie! It’s different and delightful 😋
Jenna I missed your wonderful artwork and recipes. Apples are season perfect (even though we don’t really have a “season” in Florida). I will try this soup as I get stronger standing in the kitchen. Hugs
How delightful to hear from you my hero Kari!! Yay, you are feeling well enough to visit, you’ve made my day and filled the world with hope!!! 💕
Your soup is the perfect comfort food and seasonally just right. We had high winds today in northern NM and are expecting cold temperatures and some snow. It was nice to read about your warming dish, and it looks delicious!
Thank you Linda, we are having mostly mild weather in the South, but I’m looking forward to chilly soup days!
Your soup and sandwich combo sounds delicious Jenna! Aren’t you glad you have a son who loves to cook in the kitchen and on the grill?!
YES!! He totally spoils all of us! Thanks Mary 🙂
Oh I would love a bowl of that soup about lunch time today. Looks so good and warming to my soul! I love soup all year round. Happy Week to you dear Jenna. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks so much Cindy, I hope you have a wonderful week!
How yummy this looks. There is nothing like a nice bowl of soup with cooler temps. Thanks for sharing the recipe Jenna. Have a great week.
Thank you Linda, this soup is fun to make and eat!
It is soup season. I made Slow Cooker Potato Soup over the weekend. I have added apple juice to this week’s shopping list, and plan on making this for the weekend. It seems perfect for Hallowe’en with the apples and all.
Thank you Pattie! Make sure you get unsweetened apple juice because the soup is already sweet from the apples themselves…you’re right, a fun soup for Halloween!
Sounds and looks so delicious Jenna. We love our soup here and I love the idea of apple anything! All your soups look wonderful. I know where to come for new ideas………
