>From Marilyn: "Cubes of fresh apple, browned in a skillet,
add the perfect contrast to this luscious, dairy-free soup."
List of Ingredients
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored & chopped
1 leek, white part only, finely chopped
4 cups vegetable broth

1/4 tsp dried thyme leaves

In a large, heavy saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.
