Oh, my! All the wonderful warm tastes of fall in a bowl! I loved the silky smooth texture. The only substitution that I made was that I used dry white wine in place of apple juice.... it worked very well. I took the suggestion of the dallop of yogurt for garnish. I did not have chives for garnish, so I used parsley flakes. Thanx for a fabulous fall soup!

After several floods to my basement, I am starting to input all of the many many recipes that I've been collecting for years. I didn't realize just how many I had saved up... must make note to self.. step away from the cookbooks!
