Pumpkin Apple Soup

It is pumpkin season!! Yummy fall flavors for this blustery day.












4 cups pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
2-3 cloves garlic, smashed and diced
2 large apples, cored and quartered
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups stock or broth *
4 cups water
1 package onion soup mix (store bought or homemade)
Pepper to taste
Chives to taste
(you can add more salt if you want, but the broth and soup mixes are salty enough for me)

*I used beef for a richer flavor, you can use chicken or veggie broth if you like



Combine puree, garlic, apples, potatoes, broth and water.

Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until potatoes and apples are very tender.

Use and immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender in batches and puree until smooth.

Add soup mix, pepper and chives. Simmer 10 minutes more.

Serve hot and enjoy!
