Apple Rutabaga Soup Swede To You Brits Recipes

APPLE RUTABAGA SOUP (SWEDE TO YOU BRITS!)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, over medium high heat, melt the butter.
• Add all the vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are translucent.
• Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil.
• Simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until all the vegetables are cooked through and tender.
• Puree the vegetables in a blender or food processor, or if you are lucky like me and have one use a handheld food liquidizer.
• Strain through a fine mesh sieve into the same pot you used to cook it inches Add the cream, maple syrup, salt and cayenne pepper.
• Return the pot to the stove, bring soup to a simmer, then serve in hot bowls!
• I like to cut buttered bread into small shapes and toast them in the oven til crispy and golden to float on top for an added garnish!
