Apple-Spice Breakfast Soup image

Years ago, when I lived in Austin, Tex., I had a little business selling hot cups of soup to vendors and shoppers on the "Drag" in front of the University of Texas. This soup was always a favorite on a chilly day. It's sweet and spicy, and although you can serve it at lunch or dinner, I prefer it for breakfast, with more yogurt stirred in. Use whole-grain sandwich bread if you can.

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 quarts water
4 large tart apples, like Pink Lady, unpeeled, cored and diced about 2 1/2 pounds)
2/3 cup dark or golden raisins
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup honey
4 slices whole-wheat or multigrain bread (about 6 ounces), diced 3 cups tightly packed)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 1 cup plain yogurt, to taste, plus additional for garnish
Thin lemon slices for garnish

Steps:

  • Combine the water, apples, raisins, spices, salt and honey in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and stir in the bread. Cover and simmer one hour. The bread will fall apart and thicken the soup.
  • Remove from the heat, and stir in the lemon juice and yogurt. Serve hot or warm, or chill and serve cold. Garnish each serving with a dollop of yogurt and a thin slice of lemon.
