You don't need an excuse or a holiday to make this seriously satisfying stuffing studded with nuts, apple and cranberries. It's on the table in 15 minutes, so start chopping.
Combining fresh beets and apple create a mellow, slightly sweet soup recipe. Pureeing in a food processor or with an immersion blender makes it smooth and luscious.
OK, so these take more than a minute to make, but they're so worth the (still short) wait. We're talkin' steak with ripe tomatoes, hearty stuffing and melty cheese.
I first learned to like this soup at a Chinese restaurant called Nong Chin's in Marion Illinois. I had to try my hand at copying it, as I love it-this is the result. AND these people DO NOT give out their recipes.
