LUNCH OR DINNER....BRING ON THE .SOUP!!

    There is a chill in the air and it brings on a yearning for SOUP! The recipe that follows
    is a different kind of soup. I hope you will give it a try. It is very hearty. When I first
    read the ingredients, I thought....APPLES and KIELBASA ...together??
    Believe me, I was surprised. Give it a try, it is equally as good the next day.

                                                        CABBAGE  KIELBASA SOUP

                 3 cups coleslaw mix [ store bought ]
                 2 medium carrots, chopped
                1/2 cup celery, chopped
                1/2 cup onion, chopped
                1/2 tsp caraway seeds
                 2 tbsp butter
                 32 ounces chicken broth
                 1 pound of kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
                 2 medium unpeeled Golden delicious apples, chopped
                1/4 tsp pepper, 1/8 tsp salt

     In a large soup pot [saucepan], saute coleslaw mix, carrots, onions, and caraway seeds
     in butter for 5-8 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and
     simmer uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. Makes 2 quarts.

      This is  a recipe I found years ago [ 2004]  in COUNTRY WOMAN magazine.
