Chicken Cabbage Apple Soup

This recipe was adapted from the original that was in Cooking Light magazine.  I thought a cold snowy day was perfect for trying out this recipe.  It turned out to be fabulous and certainly a fat burner!  Eating clean may take a little more prep, but it is well worth it.

Lots of chopping!

Soften veggies in olive oil.
