Chef's Notes

  • Garnish with sour cream and diced apples.
  • Soup may vary in color depending on the types of apples and cheese that you use.
  • Potato should be baked, while the veggies are raw.
  • Roasting the ingredients beforehand is an amazing way to add depth of flavor to the soup.
  • Season to taste at the end with more spices, herbs, and cheese to suit your taste preference.
