Directions

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the skillet until they begin to brown; add the apple, carrot, basil, and thyme; reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vegetable stock, tomatoes, and tomato paste; season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil; cover and cook at least 20 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the soup from burning on the bottom.
Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.

I ended up adding the wh..." See moreole apple, extra carrots, & only 1/2 of the tomatoes. I also like a bit of crunch in my veggies (and fruits, in this case!) so I left out some of the carrots & apples until just before pouring everying in the blender. Will definitely be making this again. Thanks! "

"The flavors were delicious! I think the apple added a nice sweetness to the soup. The pureed texture was not my favorite. My husband gave it a 3 based on the texture. It is a "refined" soup so to spea..." See morek. My 9 month old and 2 1/2 year old loved it! I knew going into it that chunks would be nice, but I wanted an easy meal to feed my little boys. It worked out nicely and I would definitely make it again!"
