Ingredients for Apple Raisin Soup
- Apple Juice
- Cooking Apples
- 1 cup raisins

How to Make Apple Raisin Soup
- In a 2-quart saucepan, combine the diced apples, raisins, water, and cinnamon stick.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
- Remove from heat and carefully remove the cinnamon stick.
- Stir in the brandy and sugar. If desired, gently heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
- Allow the soup to cool completely. For a smoother texture, carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender or a regular blender until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly before serving.
- Serve chilled. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few extra raisins, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
