No the apple taste is barely noticeable, it just gave it a bit more, dimension, if that makes any sense. I made this for myself as the husband would NEVER eat it. So I ate it almost like an appetizer before dinner. I brought leftovers with work and have them with a sandwich. It's just a nice way to start a winter meal. As for the cups question. I have a ladle that is 1/2 cup, so when I transfer it to a storage container I just counted. JoAnn - I'm sorry I thought I answered that already too. When I'm blending hot things I like to take the small top off the lid of the blender and use a towel. Hot liquids have the ability to explode so this is a precaution against that.

I'm not a cream person. As for your apple juice question, the soup that inspired me actually used apple cider I decided to use an apple, so yes I think the juice would work well, cider would probably be better.

I like your idea of adding apple. I saw an barefoot show where she added apple juice. Do you think that would add flavor or just get lost in the soup and only add unneeded calories? Also, I have seen a lot of butternut squash, pumpkin type soups with cream in their recipes. Do you think that with the thick puree type veggies that is unnecessary? Thanks......and love the videos with your toddler! Ronnie, between you and Kath I decided I have to try a butternut squash soup. I like your idea of adding apple.

Not sure about the soup because it sounds a bit sweet and I'm still a bit weird about sweet things that aren't dessert but it does look really good though!
