Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (sweet varieties like Fuji or Gala are recommended)
- 20g fresh ginger (peeled and thinly sliced)
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 Tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 cups water (approx. 400ml)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (approx. 120ml)
- 3/4 cup milk (approx. 180ml)
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of dried parsley for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the apples, then peel, core, and thinly slice them. Peel the fresh ginger and slice it thinly into rounds. In a pot, combine the sliced apples, ginger slices, cinnamon stick, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes until the apples are tender.
Step 2
After 10 minutes, remove the cinnamon stick and ginger slices from the pot. Their flavors should have beautifully infused the liquid. Now, pour in 3/4 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Gently stir and bring the soup back to a low simmer over low heat. Be careful not to let it boil vigorously, and stir occasionally to prevent the cream from separating.
Step 3
Check if the apples are very soft, easily pierced with a fork. Season the soup with a pinch of salt. Start with a small amount and taste, adding more if needed. Be cautious not to oversalt.
Step 4
Now it’s time to blend the soup until smooth. Carefully transfer the cooked apple mixture to a blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend for about 1 minute, or until you achieve your desired creamy consistency. Ensure there are no lumps for a silky texture.
Step 5
Add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice to the blended apple soup. The lemon juice will brighten the flavors, enhance the sweetness of the apples, and add a refreshing note to the soup, making it more complex and delicious.
Step 6
Ladle the warm apple cream soup into serving bowls. Garnish with a pinch of dried parsley for a touch of color and fresh aroma. Enjoy your homemade, comforting apple cream soup!
