Time 1h

Yield 4-6 Bowls of soup, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 large apples, peeled and rough chopped (I used McIntosh, you can use whatever, you just don't want a tart apple)
2 cups celery, rough chopped
4 cups chicken broth
4 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, rough chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, very fine chopped
1 pinch clove
ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups mascarpone
2 ounces brandy

Steps:

Base -- In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the celery, onion and cook 3-4 minutes. Add in the apples and broth and cook until tender. It will take about 20 minutes on a medium low simmer, uncovered.
Puree -- I used my immersion blender, but you can you can transfer it to a standard blender and puree until smooth.
Season -- Add in the the sage, and a very small pinch of cloves, go easy ad season with black pepper. Cook another 10 minutes.
Mascarpone -- Mix the mascarpone with the brandy, and return to the refrigerator. I mixed mine right in the container, save on those dirty dishes.
Serve -- I like to serve with a fresh small sprig of sage and a dollop of the Brandied Mascarpone cheese. You can serve this hot, which I prefer, or chilled is also very good. And don't forget my Sweet Savory Bread Sticks.
