Horseradish Apple Soup Recipe

The heat cooks away the spiciness of the horseradish and leaves a mild flavor to complement the onion, garlic, and apples in this interesting soup. The soup may be made in advance.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large chopped onion
• 1 Tablespoon of butter
• 2 cloves of finely sliced garlic
• 3 apples such as Granny Smith or Golden Delicious, cored and chopped, skin-on
• 2 cups of apple juice
• 1 cup of white wine
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1/2 cup of horseradish
• 1 dash nutmeg, freshly grated

Preparation:

In a hot medium sized thick-bottom soup pot, sweat the onions and garlic in the butter for a few minutes until they fully aromatize. Add the apples, apple juice, wine, salt, horseradish, and nutmeg.

Stir gently bringing the mixture to a boil then reduce the flame to just sustain a simmer. Simmer the soup until the apples soften, about twenty minutes.

Carefully puree the soup in a blender until smooth then strain it through a fine mesh strainer.

Either serve the soup immediately by returning it to its clean pot and reheating it or refrigerate it for later use.

Yield: 4 servings
