EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For a slightly thicker broth, blend 1 cup of the soup in blender and pour back into the pan.

Leftover soup? No problem! Refrigerate it and serve again tomorrow. The flavors will have time to blend, and the soup will taste even better!

Made a regular and veggie batch of this - substituted No-Chicken broth and potatoes for the sausage - was excellent. Doubling is a good idea. Most crock pot recipes use 4-6 cups of liquid, so this soup will make considerably less than you may be used to. PS - pumpernickel was a great suggestion - awesome together!

Love this recipe! I double the recipe because it doesn't make very much. When I double it, I only use 1 beer and 3 1/2 of chicken broth. I also don't use polish sausage, I use Hardwood chicken sausage and add just a pinch of sea salt. So delish!

Just made this soup. So tasty and comforting. Used water instead of chicken broth, used the beer, used turkey sausage and grinder Italian spices. Tried with some of the roasted garlic potatoes. Just scrumptious. Thanks
