In a heavy bottom pot, over medium heat, add butter.

Heat a small frying pan with olive oil on medium high and add remaining sage leaves. Fry for 30 seconds, remove on to a paper towel lined plate.

Puree soup in 4 batches in a blender, then heat in cleaned pot over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, season with salt. (Add additional ½ cup (125ml) water to thin, if necessary.)

Serve soup topped with fresh black pepper, apple matchsticks and crispy sage leaves.
