You can leave it out but I feel it makes the soup especially delicious!

I used an organic brand of cinnamon applesauce in this recipe, but you could use regular applesauce and add ground cinnamon.

Yes, I would guess that the yogurt made it extra thick. Glad you were successful in thinning it out, Kristi.

My daughter made this for me as I wasn’t feeling great and requested it and had already bought everything to make it. This was the first time making it, from any recipe. It was a bit thick, I had her use greek yogurt in place of heavy cream to decrease the calories a bit and ended up adding in some apple cider at the end to thin it out and that made it perfect! Thank you for a fantastic recipe! It really tasted great and I will be making it again.

Hi Ginger! I’m so glad your guests enjoyed the soup. I fixed the recipe and added the cream to directions. Thanks for trying it!

This was a big hit with my dad and guests. (Hubs is more of a carnivore.) Warm and filling. We had sliced sourdough and steamed asparagus on the side.
Definitely needed the cream added at the end, but I don’t see where that’s added in the instructions. I just stirred it in after it was hot. Is that when I should?
I prefer savory, so left out the brown sugar—apples made it sweet enough. Needed a lot more salt added at the end and a lot more liquid in order to be able to purée in my blender. I used a whole 4C container of veg broth + an extra cup of water. But I also added a roasted Japanese sweet potato I got in my farm box, and they tend to be pretty dry. It was a lot of work to prep and roast all the vegetables, but worth it on a weekend with guests who enjoy healthy food. Served my vegan aunt before adding the cream and she enjoyed it.
