This recipe is the fifth in a 21-week series, The Feast of the Ages, a series we developed to share our faith along with the delicious recipes we enjoy sharing, which is so much more important in our lives than anything.

We offer for the 5th course a thin soup:
Apple Cider Soup
Yield:Â Serves approximately 8- 12 people at a serving size of 4 ounces per person.
- 3 cups of chicken broth
- 4 cups of apple juice
- 1 gala apple peeled, cored and cut into small dice
- 1 granny smith apple peeled, cored and cut into small dice
- 1/2 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- dash kosher salt
- dash red pepper flakes
- In a medium non-stick saucepan, combine chicken broth, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and 5 spice powder. Â Bring to a slow simmer.
- Add diced apples and simmer until apples are just tender but not mushy or falling apart. Â
- Add salt and red pepper flakes.
Note: This soup is very unique in that it can be compared to a hot cup of apple cider. However, the chicken broth, apples and five spice powder add an interesting twist on it. The idea behind this soup is to give the guest something warm and acidic that when consumed will refresh the pallet readying their taste buds to the next wonderful course in this dynamic culinary feast.

We will be there… and we hope you will be, too!
