    BEER CHEESE SOUP WITH BRATWURST   {PRINT THIS RECIPE}
    Serves: 6-8     Prep Time: 15 minutes      Cook Time: 20 minutes

    1 pound fresh bratwurst
    3 tablespoon butter
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    3 large carrots, peeled and roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces
    2 ribs of celery, roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces
    1 medium red onion, chopped into bite-sized pieces
    1 can fire-roasted jalapenos
    1 teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon pepper

    Email forwarding service for saving information.

    6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups chicken stock (I used low sodium)
    2 cups beef stock (I used low sodium)
    1 can (12 ounces) of beer
    ½ cup half-and-half
    8 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
     
    -In a large Dutch oven over medium/high heat, cook and brown the bratwurst until cooked through. Remove and allow to cool. Reserve the drippings
    -Once cooled cut the bratwurst into bite-sized pieces and set it aside.
    -In the same Dutch oven that you cooked the bratwurst, over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil to the bratwurst drippings. 
    -Once the butter has melted, add in the carrots, celery, fire-roasted jalapenos, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes for the veggies to soften.
    -Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for at least 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
    -Stir the chicken stock, beef stock, beer, and chopped bratwurst in with the veggies. As the soup heats it will begin to thicken slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
    -Switch to a whisk and reduce the heat to low.
    -Whisk in the half-and-half, cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, nutmeg, and Dijon mustard. Whisk occasionally to make sure all the cheese has melted and that is thoroughly blended.
    -Reduce the heat to low and allow the soup to simmer for about 5 minutes.

      I put a little twist on it. I took the casing off the bratwurst and cooked it up making it more like ground beef. Then I took an immersion blender to break up the veggies after simmering for a while and then added the bratwurst back in after. The beer I used was a UK style IPA, which perhaps was a bit sweet for this recipe, but it still turned out great.
