Notes
For a soup with some heat, add ¼ tsp ground ginger.
The recipe contains no gluten containing ingredients. I have celiac disease and have been gluten free for 6 years.
This soup was a bit sweet for my tastes. I’ll find a way to doctor it up though. I loved the loaded potato soup and the broccoli cheddar soup also.
Can you give an estimate on how much carrot is in the soup? How many pounds/ounces of carrots? I have some garden carrots that I’d like to use but they are much smaller than the kind from the grocery store. I’ll need to use more than six of my carrots but I’m really not sure how to equate the grocery store carrots, so a weight measurement will be very helpful.
I made this soup and I recommend using 1/2 teaspoon of thyme instead of 1 teaspoon. It was overpowering. My apple was small and didn’t add much flavor so maybe use 2 small apples or one big one. Blendtec it would help to know what apples your kitchen testers used.
I had a few alterations due to lack of ingredients on hand, ie vegi stock. So I blended 3 cups water, 1/4 onion, crushed garlic, clove, rosemary, salt & pepper. Mixed via Soup on Blentec.. There was nothing to strain – it was completely blended… Mixed in the rest of the ingredients per recipe above = delicious
