Ingredients
- 3 russet potato peeled and cubed, medium-large
- 2 apple cored, peeled, and chopped, large
- 2 cups vegetable stock plus extra to thin the soup as desired
- 8-10 ounces Brie cheese rind removed, cubed
- 3 cloves garlic smashed and minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2-1 TBSP parsley dried
- ½ tsp salt
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- First decide whether you want to whip this up on the stove top or let the crock pot do the work for you! I don't do stove top soups super-often, and highly suggest whipping out the crock pot. It's my best friend. Well, aside from P... and the amazon... and... whatever! It rocks. Do it.
- Scrub, peel, and cube both your potatoes and apples into chunks. Nothing intricate, just a rough chop.
- Add your fruit, veggies, garlic, bay leaf, salt and vegetable stock to the crockpot and cover.
- Cook for 4 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low depending on the shenanigans you have on tap for the day.
- Use a wooden spoon to smush any unruly cubes into submission.
- At the very end, reduce heat to low/warm and stir in the brie until melted.
- Adjust salt and pepper if/as needed and steal a bite for taste testing purposes, of course. You may now faceplant into the soup.
- As mentioned below, you can sneak in a little extra broth/stock to change the thickness of the soup. Sometimes I'll opt for an extra cup. Start by adding a little at a time and taste as you go. Always add the brie at the end, it's not a huge fan of excessive heating and can curdle if added too soon.
- Garnish with thinly sliced apple and chopped green onion and dive in!

Notes
- Crisp, tart apples like Honeycrisp are preferred to balance sweetness and add texture.
- Garnish with fresh apple slices and chopped green onions or chives for color and freshness.
- Adjust soup thickness by adding vegetable stock if it becomes too thick after cooking.
- This soup can be cooked on the stove top or in a crock pot depending on your schedule.
