A tasty fall roasted apple soup with age white cheddar and bacon.

For my next apple recipe I continue with my apple and cheddar theme in this tasty roasted apple and cheddar soup! This apple and cheddar soup could not be easier, you start out by roasting some apples to bring out even more flavour and then the apple flavours continue with the use of apple cider as part of the soups liquid base. A ham broth goes particularly nicely in this soup as the main liquid but otherwise a chicken broth or even a vegetable broth would also work. Of course the second star of the show is a nice aged white cheddar which really packs in the flavour so you do not need a lot of it. I have to say that this soup is a truly beautiful blending of sweet and savoury and I like to finish it off with a touch of grainy mustard and maple syrup to really bring the effect home!

    I had been planning to make a soup for dinner last night anyway, so when I found this I knew it had to happen. So delicious! Even my "If there isn't a meat in dinner I am highly suspicious of it." thinking husband loved it.

    @dave i used Ambrosia apples because my family has a sweet tooth. We also did the maple syrup drizzle optional garnish and it was awesome! I think this would also be good with Granny Smith for a tart kick.

    I thought to give this a try today since it’s pouring out and I’m stuck home. (i have a window cleaning business). Anyways, i just need to say that this turned out awesome. I actually ran to the store for the ingredients and forgot to add bacon to my list.. Even so this is amazing soup and perfect for a cool dreary rainy day.. Thanks.
    BTW: Am enjoying your site immensely.
