- 2 cups leeks white and pale green parts only, sliced thinly
- 2 carrots peeled and diced
- 1 celery stalk diced
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, diced
- 1-2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- Dash of dried sage
- 5 cups chicken broth (use vegetable broth for vegetarian)
- 1 ½ cups apple cider divided

Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large heavy pot or large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

- Mix in the diced apples, thyme sprigs, and pinch of dried sage.
- Add the chicken broth and 1 cup of apple cider then bring to boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until apples are tender, stirring occasionally, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Remove thyme sprig stems from the soup.
- Purée soup with a handheld immersion blender (or in a blender) until creamy and smooth.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, boil the remaining 1/2 cup apple cider until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 7-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Place sour cream in a small bowl.
- Whisk in reduced cider.
- Ladle soup into bowls and drizzle with the cider cream and bacon crumbles, if desired. Enjoy!
