Creator Notes
This recipe used to be impressed by a fresh time out to an apple orchard (http://bit.ly/ofejSs) and the wish to get inventive makes spend of for a bushel of apples! A few years in the past, I made a paella recipe that referred to as for a great deal of smoky Spanish paprika. It used to be my first proper encounter with the ingredient, and on the present time it’s turn out to be one of the most important staples in my pantry. There’s enough enough in this soup so that you would possibly perhaps well add a smoky depth and richness that wisely complements the earthy squash and candy apple flavors. —Sugar On My Tongue
