Pretty good. I love cabbage in soup, and I love apples, so this was a good combination. I didn't have fresh thyme, and I don't think the dried quite cut it so I'll be sure to use fresh next time! I would also omit the butter and just use olive oil, as I thought the butter tasted too heavy for this soup. I will definitely make this again though! Thanks!
