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!

Dear Sir and Friend
good morning.
I am learning on cooking. Real cooking shall start once i get my new house and thus kitchen. Not going to depend on wife for meals. One has to learn and cook self so one can sure have varieties of foods of the self choice. Thanking You and Writing my love and Best Wishes in Abundance for your Smiles and Love filled Life. I would read and learn and then cook. And whatever I design myself; surely i shall be in touch with you for sharing. I am on Twitter too and I am following you there now. I have put this recipe on Twitter. Regards.
Shut your FACE. I freaking love this. I'm moving in.
Do you think I could add a little jalapeno to this to add some heat?
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.
This looks so delicious! thanks for sharing 🙂 http://www.handmadeintheheartland.com
I love the flavor of apples and cheddar together! This soup sounds amazing and looks so delicious!
Dave: I like a tart apple like a granny smith for this soup but sweeter ones like honey crisp would also work!
Danielle: I am glad that you and your husband enjoyed it!
Melissa: Yes you could add some jalapenos for heat or add some red pepper flakes along with the garlic or some cayenne would also work.
Did you peel the apples?
Ash: Yes the apples are peeled and cored. Recipe updated!
Kevin, You are amazing!!! Thank you for this website!!!
Would it work without the cheese?
Made this and it was delish!
Kelly: I'm glad you liked it!
Oh this soup sounds heavenly! I will def try it. Thanks!
Can this soup be made in advance and reheated before serving?
Odette Godin: Yes it can! Enjoy!
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.
