A glorious soup indeed. We now have polished off the rest of the Holiday ham, and this was perfect way to use that last bits. I did have a *ham bone* so I stuck it right into the pot but let it simmer for about 40 minutes, just to get the essence right out of bone, but otherwise, made it as directed, and it filled our stomachs and our souls with goodness. None left, or else I would have some for breakfast!

This was a really great soup and low calorie to boot! I increased the ingredient amounts by 1 1/2 to use up ingredients. Came out wonderful. I also did not peel the red potatoes and it added a nice color to the soup. Reheated well.

This was delicious, we really enjoyed it. Easy to make. I did omit the caraway seeds - personal preference. The apples were a nice change.

Hubby, who eats a granny smith apple every day, loved this soup, but the apple made it just a bit too sweet for me. I did love the way it incorporated four vegetables. That's always a big plus in my book. Also, I needed to add an extra cup or so of water to create enough broth.

This was delicious. Used leftover ham, leftover cabbage, and veggies and apples from our garden. I added more veggies than called for and ended up more like stew than soup but it was really yummy. Made for Football Pool 2015.
