Ingredients
  

  • 5 Tbsp butter separated
  • 1 medium white onion finely diced
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 ½ cups chicken or beef broth
  • 2 ½ cups milk
  • 1 lb bratwurst, kielbasa, or similar sausage sliced into half-moon shapes
  • 3 large potatoes peeled and diced
  • 1 cup sauerkraut
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • First, boil your potatoes: Set a large pot of water to boil, add peeled and diced potatoes, and keep on a low boil for 15-20 minutes until they are soft (poke with a fork to test). Drain and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, heat up a large saucepan with 1 Tbsp butter. Add the sliced bratwurst (or other sausage) and cook for a few minutes on each side. Even if it's pre-cooked, adding a nice bit of char is great for the soup flavor. Remove the cooked bratwurst from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same large saucepan, melt the remaining 4 Tbsp butter over medium heat.
  • Add onions and saute for about five minutes, until tender.
  • Add flour, stirring until completely combined. Cook for one minute, then add the broth and milk.
  • Turn heat to medium high, then cook, stirring often, until broth begins to thicken.
  • Reduce heat to medium then add bratwurst, potatoes, sauerkraut and parsley. Simmer for five minutes, then add shredded cheddar.
  • Stir to combine and remove from heat. Serve sprinkled with black pepper and a bit of extra cheese.
