                    A friend brought samples of this recipe to a soup-tasting class sponsored by our extension homemakers club. It was a great hit with my family. The mix of sausage, apples and vegetables makes a different and flavorful combination. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                3 cups coleslaw mix  |
