Country Bratwurst Potato Chowder is Perfect for Rainy Days

Have you ever gotten some brats out of the freezer, only to have your picnic or backyard barbeque rained out?  Or like me, maybe it started to snow?  Or maybe you’re just tired of the same old grilled brats.   Well, Country Bratwurst Potato Chowder is a reimagined potato chowder that will knock your socks off.  Creamy and savory, Country Bratwurst Potato Chowder will fill you up and your family will love it.

What Brats to Use with Country Bratwurst Potato Chowder?

I buy my brats at a little family run store that makes their own by hand.  They have six to eight flavors, depending on the day you shop.  This time, I used Italian brats (not sausage…the flavor is slightly different) for a spicy flavor.  The bacon cheddar brats are also amazing in Country Bratwurst Potato Chowder.  I opted to stay away from the wonderfully sweet Hawaiian brats, thinking the pineapple and brown sugar flavor would probably not be as savory as I was looking for.  Use a brat you love and you will have an amazing Country Bratwurst Potato Chowder.

Fabulous French Onion Soup Recipe

Fabulous French Onion Soup is a Crowd Pleaser!

 Fabulous French Onion Soup tastes like it is complicated to make, but it’s the simplest soup I know of.  Strong onions simmer to sweetness, leaving a rich, full flavor accentuated with fresh bay leaves, beef stock, and burgundy wine.  Just a few ingredients and will make Fabulous French Onion Soup a favorite for gatherings, holidays, and every day.

Ingredient Notes for Fabulous French Onion Soup

I usually purchase the strongest Spanish onions I can find for this recipe.  The initial saute of the onions will leave your eyes watering, but will give the soup a fabulous flavor.  Slice them thin with a knife or mandolin if you have one.  The mandolin will make quick work of the slicing, leaving you tear-free, or nearly so.  Slice them on the “thick” setting, or about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick for best results.

For beef stock, I’ve found a good stock is best, as the flavor is thick and hearty.  Beef broth or bouillon tend to be really salty, and one the salt is in, it’s hard to get it back out.  Find a quality stock that you like or make your own from beef and bones by simply boiling them for a few hours.  Use what you like in Fabulous French Onion Soup for a taste you’ll love.

I’ve often heard people say that you should never cook with a wine that you wouldn’t drink.  Well, I don’t think I’ll ever drink burgundy, but I love to cook with it.  I purchase big bottles when they are on sale for about $10.  It lasts me over a year typically, as I really only use it in the winter for Crock-Pot dishes and soups.  Keep it in a cool place and the flavor won’t change while you use it up.

Fabulous French Onion Soup Makes a Great Crock-Pot Meal

Once you get to the stage that the wine has reduced, pour the onion-burgundy mixture into your large Crock-Pot and set it to low.  It will simmer and stay hot for any buffet, gathering, or holiday.  Place a bowl of cheese bread next to it and your guests can serve themselves any time they want some soup.  Fabulous French Onion Soup makes a perfect starter for any meal.

It doesn’t get any more frugal than potatoes, and it doesn’t get any more comforting than potato soup.  Just the thing for when winter lingers and it seems like summer will never come.

Potatoes are a great thing to stock up on when you see them on sale (especially organic!) as they last pretty well in a cool, dark place.  This recipe is a great way to use up the leftovers from a baked-potato-bar-dinner (which, by the way, is a great way to feed a big family or a bunch of hungry friends).  Since baking potatoes isn’t tough, you might as well bake up a whole ton for dinner and plan on using the leftover potatoes for soup.  That’s what I did, and I think I enjoyed the soup more than the original dinner.

Loaded Baked Potato Soup

Ingredients:

6 large organic Yukon Gold potatoes, baked
1/2 c butter
3 T flour
3 c milk
3/4 t salt
1/2 t black pepper
2 oz real bacon bits
4 oz sour cream – (I thought the addition of sour cream was going to be weird, but I tasted the soup before and after adding it since I was skeptical, and that little bit of tang is definitely key to the recipe.)
shredded cheddar cheese
diced green onions

Directions:

  1. Melt butter in large, heavy pot.
  2. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in milk, and continue to stir until slightly thickened.
  4. Cut potatoes into bite sized pieces and add to pot with salt, pepper, and bacon.
  5. Cook 5 minutes, then use a potato masher to mash the chunks up a bit.
  6. Stir in sour cream and add more milk if needed to get the consistency you want.
  7. Top with lots of cheese and diced green onions.
