A delicious fruit and vegetable soup. Great for cold fall days!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon reduced-fat margarine
- 3 tart apples – peeled, cored, and chopped
- 3 pears – peeled, cored, and chopped
- 5 cups vegetable broth
- ½ teaspoon rubbed sage
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 ½ teaspoons pureed fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Melt the margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the apples and pears in the melted margarine for about 5 minutes. Add the vegetable broth, sage, pepper, and bay leaf to the pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Place a cover on the saucepan and allow the mixture to simmer until hot and the apples and pears are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Pour about 1/3 of the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth; pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the saucepan. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan and warm over medium heat until completely reheated. Garnish with parsley to serve.
