Apple Soup Puree
6 servings
40 minutes
Apple puree soup is a delicate and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that combines the sweetness of apples, the slight tartness of lemon zest, and the warm spice of cinnamon. The origins of this recipe trace back to traditional fruit soups served as refreshing summer dishes or warming winter treats. Antonovka apples give the soup a rich flavor and pleasant acidity, while white bread adds a tender texture. Serving it with rice makes the dish more nutritious, and sour cream adds creamy softness. This soup is perfect as a light dessert or unusual appetizer, especially in cooler weather when one craves comfort and warmth. Its softness and refined taste make it an enjoyable choice for those who appreciate a harmonious blend of fruits and spices.
