Apple Soup

The good news is that apple season is here.  The bad news is I have a heck of a time sorting through all the different apples available.  I thoroughly enjoy the many tastes and textures that individual apple provide, though at times the amount of choice is overwhelming.  Aki has come up with a combination of apples, five to be exact, each cooked seperately which are finally blended together to form five apple soup.  We serve it with sauteed rock shrimp and tofu glazed in smoked vinegar with celery leaves, chives, ground cranberries and our curry leaf-white chocolate milk.  The combinations of apples can and will vary throughout the seasons.  What is key is using apples whose inherrent individual qualities blend together to develop a rich and balanced final product.
