Smoked Sausage, Cheddar Beer Soup
Soup
Ingredients
14 oz. Beef Smoked Sausage – Halved and Sliced
32 oz. Beef Stock
12 oz. Bottle of Beer - (Gluten free beer if needed)
1 Cup Carrot – Chopped
1 Cup Celery – Chopped
1 Small Onion – Diced
4 Cloves Garlic – Minced
1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp. Sea Salt – More if desired
½ tsp. Black Pepper
1 Cup Heavy Cream
8 oz. Cream Cheese
2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese – Shredded
Directions
Heat slow cooker on high setting.
To the slow cooker, add sausage, beef stock, beer, carrot, celery, onion, garlic red pepper flakes, sea salt, and pepper. Cook on high 4 hours.
Add heavy cream, cream cheese and cheddar cheese. Stir until there are no longer any clumps of cream cheese. Using a whisk will help this process along. Taste to see if more salt and pepper is desired. Cook additional 2 hours
Notes
Add more sausage, like double it, so good with more. I used Coors Light for the beer, but anything is probably fine.
