Kielbasa Cabbage Soup (South Beach Friendly)

Chef #1249650's Note:

This has been a family favorite. I found it in a Taste of Home book awhile ago and made a few slight changes. The apples with the kielbasa provide a very different, yet delicious taste.

[cooking with love]

This was a comforting soup that appeals to many tastes. I had to leave out the caraway as no one likes it. Also I used a more tart apple. But it was still well recieved. Not for someone who likes a bit of spice in their food. It is pretty bland but with the meat and the apples it is a nice mix.
