Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Roasted Apple and Aged White Cheddar Soup

[heart_this] · Nov 4, 2013 · 46 Comments

Roasted Apple and Aged White Cheddar Soup

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!

For the bacon addicts out there, this apple and cheddar soup is amazing with a garnish of crispy bacon!

    I love white cheddar. It's one of my fave cheeses to enjoy with wine. It looks like it would be amazing in this soup, too! Pinned!

    @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.
