Notes

This soup is an easy last minute recipe - everything you need can be found at most grocery stores. Find the tomatoes hidden in the produce department (look up high), apples with the dried fruit and onions in the spice section. It can also be made vegetarian by leaving out the chicken and using vegetable broth, just double the tomatoes and apples!

We saved this one for a cold

We saved this one for a cold rainy night on the trail. I was expecting a soup but it came out more like a stew. I wasn't so fond of the tangy tomatoes with the sweet apples, but it overall it was good and offers variety when you're craving a bit more flavor than the usual trail food.
