You can even serve this soup for brunch - it's a Fall soup, when apples are a part of the celebration.

I know I mentioned "Vinyard Seasons" to you guys before, but I haven't tried anything out of it yet. I just picked these three things (Hot Apple Soup, Chicken in Phyllo, Indian Pudding) to put together for what I think will be a nice autumn meal. Get a fire going in the fireplace, and it'll be great! This is a nice book. Meal Master doesn't do these recipes justice. The entire book is hand-written and illustrated.
