A friend brought samples of this recipe to a soup-tasting class sponsored by our extension homemakers club. It was a great hit with my family. The mix of sausage, apples and vegetables makes a different and flavorful combination.

I've had this recipe for years. I tried it, and it quickly became an autumn favorite for my family. The apples really add a unique kick.

This soup grows on you, my husband & I agreed, you're not too sure after the first couple bites, but after, you go back for another helping. I did not add the seeds, as I have to stay away from them, but it was good.

Having never used caraway seeds in the past, a quick taste would reveal a black licorice flavor. Though I love black licorice, it's not something I would generally associate with soup. In addition, my poor son thought the apples were pineapple floating in the soup and was even more disgusted to discover the truth. "Apples in soup?!?" Needless to say, supper was a FLOP and we each fended for ourself in finding an alternative meal replacement. Funnier still... this was a third prize winner. To each their own, though I can guarantee this recipe will NEVER see the light of day again in our household. YEEEECHHH!!!!

I will most definitely make this to take to our homemakers meeting next week. If they ask me where I got the recipe who and where do I say I got it from. What is the name of your club? We are in Kenai, Ak. and the name of our club is Redoubt Homemakers. My name is Karen and I have been a member for 33 years. I will try moose sausage with it. Yum!

I used Gala apples. also cut up a regular cabbage instead of a mix. I also did it in the slow cooker.

Apples? In a soup? I was skeptical at first, but the combination of flavors that mix with the apples are great! When you cook this, it SMELLS like home! And the taste...above average. This one is a definite keeper!
