Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2 medium Apples
- 1 medium Onion
- 4 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any low-fat milk)
- 4 ounces Brie cheese (rind removed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Core and dice the apples into similar-sized pieces. Set aside.
Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the pot. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced potatoes and apples to the pot, stirring to coat them with the aromatics and olive oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and apples are soft and tender.
Remove the pot from heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the almond milk (or chosen low-fat milk) and Brie cheese. Stir until the cheese melts completely and the soup is creamy.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Reheat the soup gently over low heat if required, ensuring it does not boil.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh chives, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
