  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 medium head of green cabbage, shredded (about 8 cups).
  3. Sauté until vegetables are wilted and slightly browned, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  4. Add 2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme) and sauté for 1 minute more.
  5. Pour in 6 cups of vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. While the soup simmers, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a separate skillet over medium heat.
  9. Add 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced.
  10. Sauté until apples are tender and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  11. Remove thyme sprigs from the soup (if using fresh).
  12. Ladle soup into bowls.
  13. Garnish each serving with sautéed apples, a sprinkle of chopped fresh thyme, and a drizzle of olive oil (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy!
