Apple Cheddar Soup
Give me just about any soup in the winter and I am one happy girl. Add in cheese and it’s even better. 😉 This apple cheese soup is a different twinst on your traditional potato soup a great way to add some variety into our winter meal plans. I love that it uses 2 of my usual winter cold storage items, apples, and potatoes. This soup is pretty rich too so it would also make a good side dish on a cool day.
