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

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.

The soup looks great and love the bratwurst in it. I am a fan of your painted glasses and tiles.
