Recipe View Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of crumbled bacon or a dollop of crème fraîche, if desired.

For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the bacon and apple mixture.
If you don't have red wine on hand, you can substitute with apple cider vinegar or balsamic vinegar for a similar depth of flavor.
This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
