Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup finely chopped carrot
  • ½ cup finely chopped celery
  • ½ cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 whole bratwurst sausage, (thinly sliced)
  • 1½ cups any crisp pilsner style lager
  • 1½ cups any fine German style lager, such as Marzen or Oktoberfest
  • 2 cups chicken stock or broth
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded medium cheddar cheese

Steps

  1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat; sauté the carrots, celery, onion and sausage until the onions are translucent. Add the beer, chicken stock, paprika, thyme and Worcestershire sauce. Stir occasionally and bring to a boil. Turn the burner to low and add the cream.

  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in about 2 tablespoons of flour to make a thick paste. Stir constantly over medium-heat until the mixture turns light brown and has a nut-like aroma.

  3. Add the roux to the saucepan one teaspoon at a time stirring continuously, until the soup has the consistency of a chowder. Finally, add the cheese a little at a time, stirring until it is dissolved.
