Grilled Fennel And Green Apple Soup

I found this recipe in the newspaper. Have to try this.

GRILLED FENNEL AND GREEN APPLE SOUP

Ingredients:

  • 4 Granny Smith apples, cored and quartered
  • 2 bulbs fennel, cut into thirds
  • 2 shallots, halved
  • 3 Tbsp. (45ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) cider vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups (1L0 vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup (125ml) white wine
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

Fire up your charcoal or preheat your gas grill. You need a medium-high grilling temp of around 350F (180C). Prep grill for cooking over direct heat.

Toss apples, fennel and shallots with oil in a large bowl until evenly coated. Grill apples, fennel and shallots over direct heat until lightly charred. Remove from grill. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then chop coarsely. Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan set over medium heat on grill, or side burner. Add apples, fennel and shallots. Cook, stirring often, until tender. Add cider vinegar and garlic. Simmer until slightly reduced. Add stock and white wine, then simmer for 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are very soft. Let cool slightly. Transfer soup, in batches, to a blender and puree until smooth. Pour through a fine mesh strainer, discarding any solids. Reheat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Makes 8 servings.

TIP: For a simple garnish, drizzle soup with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil. If soup seems too thin, whisk a splash of 35% whipping cream and an egg yolk into warm soup. Do not allow soup to boil during reheating because it will cause egg to curdle.

I make something similar. There is no reason why this recipe would not work - the ingredients play well together! :lol: And the ratios are right, too. Let us know how you like it.

Glad to have you back!

Thanks, Sora! You're sweet. :)

Don't forget to post back when you try it. I'm always keen to hear about those who try fresh fennel (which I love).

I made this soup today. It was delicious.

I used my grill pan on the stove rather than fire up the charcoal. It's minus 16 C here today. Brrrr.

For my taste I would cut the vinegar by at least half. The other person who ate some said to cut it a bit.

All the flavors are very distinctive and it would make a great starter soup.

I finally found and bought some fennel yesterday to make this. Thanks for the tip about the vinegar - I will go slow with it.

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
