Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder adjust to taste
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk optional, for creaminess
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup to adjust sweetness
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for extra heat
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Equipment

  • Large saucepan
  • Immersion blender or regular blender
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Begin by peeling, coring, and chopping the apples into small pieces for quick cooking.
  2. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil until shimmering.
  3. Pour in the chopped apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and start to release their fragrant aroma—about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the ground cinnamon, chili powder, and cayenne pepper to the apples, stirring well to coat everything evenly and releasing spicy aroma.
  5. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes until the apples are very tender and flavorful.
  6. Remove the saucepan from heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until completely smooth and creamy—watch for a velvety texture with a vibrant orange color.
  7. Add the coconut milk and honey or maple syrup, stirring thoroughly to balance the flavors and add creamy richness.
  8. If using, sprinkle in extra cayenne or chili for more heat, then return the soup to a gentle simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  9. Taste the soup and adjust the sweetness or spice level as desired—add more honey or chili if needed.
  10. Once heated through and well-flavored, ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with a pinch of cinnamon or chili if you like.
  11. Enjoy your warm, spicy apple cinnamon soup with a slice of crusty bread or a simple side salad.
