Cabbage Soup with Apples & Thyme
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 cups sliced cored cabbage (about 1/2 large head)
1 large onion, chopped
8 large fresh thyme sprigs
6 cups low-salt chicken broth
2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Chopped fresh thyme
Melt 1 tablespoon butter with oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and onion; sauté until vegetables wilt and brown, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Add 8 thyme sprigs and sauté 1 minute longer. Add broth and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and sauté until brown and tender, stirring occasionally, about 12 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove thyme sprigs from soup. Ladle soup into bowls; garnish with apples and chopped fresh thyme and serve. Adapted from Bon Appetit, Nov. 2002.
