Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces uncooked bratwurst sausage (2 links), casings removed
1 cup chopped fennel
1 cup chopped yellow onion
3 cups shredded Savoy cabbage
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
4 cups lower-sodium chicken broth
½ teaspoon ground pepper
10 ounces sweet potato, unpeeled and cubed (1/2-inch; about 2 cups)
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 ½ ounces Gala apple, cut into matchsticks (about 1/2 cup)
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard

Directions

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook, stirring to crumble into bite-size pieces, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add fennel and onion; cook, stirring occasionally and using a wooden spoon to scrape up browned bits from the bottom of the pot, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add cabbage and caraway seeds; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in broth and pepper; bring to a boil over high heat.
Add sweet potato and reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir vinegar and honey together in a medium bowl. Fold in apple and dill.
Stir parsley and mustard into the soup. Serve topped with the apple slaw.

To make ahead

Cover and refrigerate soup for up to 3 days. Assemble apple slaw (Step 3) before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
