Print Recipe

A comforting soup that combines the sweetness of apples with the sharpness of white cheddar, perfect for chilly days or fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced (use sweet varieties like Honeycrisp or Gala)
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped chives, crumbled bacon, or a drizzle of cream

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and dice the apples. Chop the onion finely and shred the cheddar cheese.
  2. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in the diced apples and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly and release their sweetness.
  4. Pour in 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
  5. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender, blending until silky and returning it to the pot.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 2 cups of shredded white cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated.
  7. Add a pinch of nutmeg, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped chives, crumbled bacon, or a drizzle of cream if desired.

Notes

For a chunkier texture, skip the blending step and mash the apples slightly with a potato masher. Add crumbled bacon for extra smokiness or serve with crusty bread for a hearty meal.
