Winter Harvest Vegetable Soup
Rich, earthy root vegetables blend with savory spices and the tartness of apples in this wonderful soup from Barbara Marakowski of Loysville, Pennsylvania. “A friend gave me this low-fat recipe after my husband's cardiac surgery and now, it's our favorite. It gets even better with reheating!”

Delicious recipe! The combination of the vegetables is very savory. It makes plenty and would be a great addition to a soup buffet.
This was really delicious, but here's how I made it. I chopped everything and dumped all of the ingredients into my crockpot (including a teaspoon of the oil, and 1 tbsp butter for flavor). I used regular chicken broth. I didn't saute anything. It looked so pretty before it cooked, but afterwards I thought it looked rather bland and unappealing. (I cooked it on high for about five hours.) So, since I like creamier soups, I decided to take my chances and blend it all together. It's so pretty, and the flavors blended beautifully. I feel so good when I eat this soup, knowing I'm getting a heaping helping of good for me veggies. (I forgot to add the bay leaf, and I'll bet that will make it even better.)
This soup really is delicious! I added a little more of all of the vegetables because we like our soup thick with veggies. I also added about three cups of rotisserie chicken. Be sure to add the apples! Yum-yum!
great! its a lot of work but it's lmost all green light vegetables and those are free on a diet i've been following. don't be scared of the apple. i've only used each time i've made it but it really does contribute something special. i would definitely recommend this soup, and a cutting partner!

I made this soup last year in the winter...and it's a keeper...so tasty and so many great vegetables!! Cooking it now!
I used sweet potatoes instead of regular, and the result was a beautiful mixture of sweet and savory.
I love this soup. At one point in the past I gave it 4 stars, but if I could I would definitely change it to 5 now. I always use Better Than Bouillon vegetable base for the broth and I leave out the apples. The flavor is so great!
