Print Recipe

A hearty and indulgent soup combining creamy beer cheese, tender potatoes, and savory smoked sausage for the ultimate comfort food experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion, diced small
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into bite-sized chunks
  • 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 cup light lager or amber beer
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, peel and chop the potatoes, and slice the sausage into rounds.
  2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
  3. Stir in the sliced sausage and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally (4-5 minutes).
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the sausage and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Slowly add the beer, stirring constantly to deglaze the pot and incorporate the flour.
  6. Stir in the diced potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until fully melted and creamy.
  8. Taste the soup and season with salt, pepper, and paprika as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with green onions if desired.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated cheddar cheese for smooth melting. Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more broth or cream if needed. This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
