APPLE-CHEDDAR SOUP WITH BACON

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium heat until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain; let cool slightly, then roughly chop. Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the drippings from the pot.
• Increase the heat under the pot to medium high. Add the onion, apples and potato and cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the chicken broth, apple juice, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potato is soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the cheddar until melted. Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree. Return to the pot and season with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Spread the bread with the mustard and sprinkle with the reserved 2 tablespoons cheese. Broil until the cheese melts, about 30 seconds, then cut into 1-inch squares. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with the bacon, chives, cheese croutons and more pepper.

TOMATO & BRAMLEY APPLE SOUP

Steps:

• Take your pan and add your tomatoes, apples, garlic cloves, oil, salt, pepper and water. Bring to the boil and let it simmer away under a tightly fitting lid for 20 minutes or so. It doesn’t particularly matter if you over cook or under cook the apples and tomatoes, although the apples, tomatoes and garlic should have lost their shape a bit.
• Using just and ordinary spoon skim the top of your soup to get rid of and of the scum which may have formed on the top.
• Add the puree, sugar and basil. Mix in. Then transfer to a food processor (you may have to do this is batches) and then whizz until smooth. Give the soup a quick taste, and then season to taste. Reheat until ready to serve and then serve in generous bowls with warmed crusty bread and butter-pure cosy bliss.
