Ok while the apple sounded a bit odd to me for such a savory soup it totally made the soup. once I cooked everything up to where you added the chicken broth I tossed everything into the crock pot and let it simmer all day...it was out of this world and better the next day. the flavor was not the norm but totally worked with this soup

Chicken Soup with Cabbage and Apple is the definition of hearty in a bowl. Earthy green cabbage mingles with moist shredded chicken, chicken sausage, and broth-soaked potatoes. Tart, crunchy apple slices add a fruity counterpoint to this German-inspired soup.
