Tina Rupp

1. Heat a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil, onion, carrot, celery and 1 teaspoon salt. Sauté for 4 minutes or until vegetables begin to soften. Add apple and cranberries and sauté 2 minutes. Pour in apple juice and water, and with a wooden spoon, dislodge any bits stuck to the pan. Add star anises, cinnamon and cardamom. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove anises, cinnamon and cardamom; let cool.
    
2. In a small sauté pan, mix panko, 1 tablespoon agave, curry powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Place over medium heat and cook 3 minutes, stirring, until breadcrumbs are golden brown. Set aside to cool.
    
3. In two batche s, ladle soup into a blender and purée until smooth. Return puréed soup to a pan and bring to a simmer. Turn off heat and add remaining ½ teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons agave. Ladle into bowls and top with breadcrumbs. Drizzle with smoked olive oil,if desired.
