It’s Seriously Soup day today, featuring one of my favorite bloggers, Serena, who authors a blog called Seriously Soupy.  Serena started Seriously Soupy as a creative outlet for herself after her first daughter was born, which combined her passion for cooking with an interest in learning more about soups and soup making.  Since it started, she has given soup tours and taught soup classes and has a catalog of over 100 soups on the site!  You can join Serena on her Soupy journey at SeriouslySoupy.com and twice a month you can find her here, at My Judy the Foodie, sharing her wisdom and helping demystify the world of soup.

Here’s what Serena has to say:

This weekend we made a trip to upstate New York and discovered a quirky little place called Mr. Apples. Cardboard signs that said the apples were “organic style,” old cars that said ‘Woodstock or Bust’ and a random Shop Rite cart made for a unique experience as we picked and looked for apples.

We loaded up with a variety of apples and came home with ideas for pie and sauce, but being a soup-maker I also thought about what soup I would create using these colorful apples. I had cauliflower and sage at home, and liked the idea of that combination. I first roasted the cauliflower and then created a light broth of onions, sage and garlic. While the broth was cooking, I added in the apples and then the roasted cauliflower and celery. In about 40 minutes the soup was done and I blended it to perfection

I really love this soup; it’s naturally sweet, comforting on a cold day, and a delicious way to enjoy apples.
