This recipe is a great way to use the harvest of fall. The rich, velvety soup makes a special first course, and the flavors of root vegetables really shine with a subtle sweetness from apple.—Denice Hageli, Elmhurst, Illinois

This soup was delicious. I loved all the vegetables - they made the soup thick and rich without being high in calories. I made this for our annual Christmas party for friends and everyone loved it. Terrific recipe. I didn't change anything.
