I dropped my daughter to the preschool on a rainy late morning. While driving back the weather made me crave for some hot and sweet and tangy soup.
I had this particular flavor in my tongue and I so wanted the same taste without any compromise. As soon as I entered home I went straight to the kitchen turned on the flame and started chopping apples and spinach. Till then I had no idea whether this combination would work for me but I desperately wanted to execute the taste in my tongue and mind. By the end of the recipe when I poured the soup in my bowl and took a spoonful of it my taste buds went for a roller coaster ride.
I immediately smiled out of excitement and ate the whole bowl of soup and wanted more. The combinations worked so well that I have become a fan of Apple Spinach Soup. I now cook this soup at least once a week and yet I crave for more. 🙂
How to make Apple Spinach Soup
- In the first step I heated oil in a saucepan and then sauteed chopped apples in it.
- Then, I sauteed spinach followed by crushed garlic.
- Thereafter, I poured in vegetable broth and let it cook for few minutes.
- Afterwards, once the soup cooled down a bit I blended it smooth in a blender. then poured it back in the same saucepan and warmed it again.
- Next, I seasoned it with salt and pepper.
- Lastly, I stirred in coconut milk and garnished with vegan cheddar cheese.
- Served it immediately.
Frequently asked questions:
