BRATWURST CHOWDER

Category: Chowders

1 lb cooked bratwurst, 1/2 slices
2 medium red potatoes, scrubbed and cut into cubes
2 cups of water
1 head of cabbage, chopped roughly
1 cup of chopped carrots
3 cups of milk
3 tbsp of flour
4 oz of shredded cheese-Cheddar, Monterey Jack etc.
1/2 tsp each of salt and pepper

In a large soup pan combine the cooked brats cut into 1/2 inch pieces, potatoes, onions, and salt and pepper. Add water, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes until the potatoes are nearly done.

Stir in the cabbage and carrots, and cook until they are tender. Stir in 2 1/2 cups of milk. Whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of milk with the flour. Gradually stir it into the soup and continue to cook until it thickens. Stir in the cheese until it's melted and serve.
