Apple Soup

This is a good soup for that cold winter day or for a hot summer day when chilled.

3 large green apples
1 large onion
4 stalks celery
2 tbs. butter
2 cups beef stock
2 cups chicken stock
1 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. paprika
juice of half a lemon
1/2 cup thick cream

Chop onion and celery and cook gently in the butter until golden brown.  Pell, core and slice the apples and add to the vegetables.  Cook them in the oven for 20 minutes in a covered iron pan.  Add beef and chicken stocks, curry powder, paprika and lemon juice.  Season to taste and stir.  Strain and bring to a boil.  Take off head and finally add the cream.  Chill in the refrigerator if the soup is to be served cold.
