The Untold Secrets To Making Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
This recipe includes onion which would normally be softened by sweating in butter but because the soup is served chilled this is not done. Choose a crisp type of apple such as Cox or Granny Smith. To garnish the soup reserve some paper-thin slices of unpeeled apple brushed with a little lemon juice.
SERVES 6
- 700 g [1½ lb] dessert apples
- 1 small onion
- 2.5 ml [½ teaspoon] lemon juice
- 2.5 ml [½ teaspoon] turmeric
- 2.5 ml [½ teaspoon] ground cumin
- 2.5 ml [½ teaspoon] ground coriander
- pinch of chili powder
- salt
- a pinch of ground cloves
- 850 ml [1½ pt] chicken stock
- 150 ml [¼ pt] thin cream
- 90 ml [6 tablespoons] natural yogurt
1 Peel, core and chop the apples. Peel and finely chop the onion.
2 Put apples and onion in a saucepan cover with half the stock and seasoning. Cover the pan and simmer for about 10 minutes or until tender.
3 Reduce contents of pan to a puree using vegetable mill, sieve or liquidizer. Stir in the remaining stock.
4 Allow to cool. When cold, stir in the cream and yogurt, cover and chill.
5 Just before serving stir in 150 ml [¼ pt] cold water if the soup seems too thick. Check for seasoning and more salt and pepper if necessary.
6 Garnish with reserved apple slices.
