Recipe for Brocolli & Apple Soup?

Someone brought some in to work a while ago and it was delish! Haven't seen her for a while and hope to make some this next week.

Does anyone have a recipe for this?

    Just had this for lunch and I have to say it's absolutely delicious!!! :D

    Little'un saw me chopping up apples and brocolli and said "Urghhhh I'm not eating that!!!" :rolleyes:

    I just told him that I'd never had it before either so might not even like it myself so he agreed to give it a try ... he scoffed the lot and came back for seconds :D

    I think next time I might omit the cream though, or maybe add a small swirl to the serving dish, as I'm not a huge lover of dairy products and i actually preferred the taste before adding it. Was still lovely though!

    Made this this afternoon, and had it for tea. Delicious, we had lumps of cheddar in ours and nice crusty white bread. So easy to make and easy to remember how to make. We didnt have cream in ours either.

    Forgot to add that my recipe book has a spinach and apple soup recipe in it. I have some frozen spinach in the freezer, wonder if that will do?
