I know you never thought that apples and soup can actually go together, just admit it now! Well, it’s time to reconsider all old prejudices you might have had and give apples a chance to make their way into your healthy, weight-conscious diet, by means of this delicious apple soup with potatoes and Brie cheese. It’s a hearty, tasty dish that will give you a totally new experience as far as taste is concerned and that will leave you looking for more such apple recipes.

What you need:
- 1 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup leeks (whites only), sliced
- 4 large apples, cored, peeled and quartered, and 1 apple cored and thinly sliced for garnishing
- 6 small potatoes, peeled and sliced
- 4 ounces brie cheese, cut into small cubes
- 2 cups chicken broth (check the sodium levels on the packaging)
- 3 cups fat-free evaporated milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

How you do it:
Put the onion, apples and leeks into a cooking pot and sauté them over medium heat until they soften. This should not take more than 5 to 7 minutes. Add the chicken broth, together with the salt and thyme, and wait until it all starts to boil, then reduce the heat and allow the soup to simmer gently for about 15 minutes, then turn off the heat and put the soup aside to cool.

In the meantime, mix the potatoes and the evaporated milk in a separate dish (preferably a saucepan) and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, checking to see when the potatoes are tender, stirring frequently. When the potatoes are cooked, blend in the potato mixture in the soup pot. Puree the soup in a blender until it is smooth, and add the pieces of cheese while you’re pureeing. Finally, heat the pureed soup again, pour into individual bowls and garnish them with the sliced apples. Serve immediately.

gay festI use to remember way back in college where I have my gay friends. At first I am hesitant to be with them because of the bad things other people say about them. Some say they are bad citizen and disgusted people. But as time goes by and I got to know them better, I change my perception since I found out that they are very cool and fun to be with people. I have to thank them since I know nothing about fashion before. They are the ones who taught me how to fix properly.
As I can remember the most important part in their life that time is joining a beauty contest where my friend became Ms. Korea. I automatically remember my friend after hearing about this Gay Fest 2008 where they can present their extraordinary talents and skills. If he will know that gay romania organize this kind of event he will surely save all his money to join this event. Most especially when he will know that they have Miss travesti as the main event. I know for a fact that he will spend thousands of cash to create a magnificent gown different from everyone. Hey! Let’s face it they are very creative in terms of imagination.
