  1. This soup had a great texture but the granny smith apple flavor overpowered any of the other flavors. I was looking for more of a butternut squash flavor with a hint of apple. I also had a few problems with the directions as well. First there was no mention of celery in the ingredients list but was listed in the directions so I left it out of the soup. Also, whipping cream was listed in the indredients list but not in the directions. Not sure if it should have been used with the sour cream cider mixture so I left it out. When making this soup again, I will either cut the apples down to one or leave them out all together, add some celery stalks to the soup, and cut the reduced cider mixture in half for the sour cream.
