This is a lovely summer soup or serve it chilled for a nice refreshing dessert, which is the way we like it. Serve with an outrageous dollop of whipped cream on top. Your family and friends will ask for the recipe. So easy to prepare, too, and just in time for summer and fall celebrations.

How To Make bonnie’s hot or chilled apple soup

Step 1

Wash, peel, core, and quarter the apples.

Step 2

Wash, peel, core, and quarter the apples. Put them in a large saucepan, and add the salt, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg. (Don't add the cream, yet)
Step 3

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, and then turn it down to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes or until apples are soft and tender.
Step 4

Lift out the cooked apples with a slotted spoon into a mixing bowl. Puree the apples until the mixture is smooth. Return the pureed apples to the hot liquid in the pot and turn the burner up to medium. Mix well. When the mixture is hot, lower the heat, and add the cream. Mix and heat it through, but Do Not Boil it. It will be thick. Taste the soup to see if it is sweet enough. If your apples are sweet, you may not want to sweeten your soup.
Step 5

Serve the apple soup hot in bowls, garnishing with a generous dollop of whipped cream, sprinkled with cinnamon and lemon zest. This soup is also excellent served cold. Let it chill overnight. It has the consistency of pudding and is a delicious, refreshing dessert. Enjoy!
