Ingredients

For the soup:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
4 pounds of SAVOURA | Cocktalio tomatoes (about 4 packages), cut into wedges
2 large apples*, cored and cut into 8 pieces
We suggest using sweet apples like Red Delicious, Empire, Honey Crisp, or Spartan
1 cup vegetable broth

For the garnish:

1 cup SAVOURA | Tomatrio tomatoes, halved
1/2 teaspoon ApothicAri fire vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
Finishing salt
Croutons
Fresh Basil from Gourma

Preparation

Preparation:

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion with a pinch of salt and sauté until translucent. Incorporate the crushed garlic and grated ginger, and cook until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the Cocktalio tomato wedges, chopped apples, and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 10 to 20 minutes or until the apples are tender.
Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer it to a blender. Then, strain the mixture through a medium-mesh sieve for a silky texture.
Halve the Tomatrio cherry tomatoes and season them with fire vinegar, olive oil, and a pinch of finishing salt.
Pour the soup into bowls and top with the seasoned tomatoes and croutons.

Note: This soup is also delicious when served cold.
