If you like a hearty, hot soup for dinner in the winter, this one’s for you.
It’s thick and cheesy. Full of smoked sausage, potatoes, carrots, celery and onions.
I adapted the recipe from Cheesy Hamburger Soup. I used smoked sausage instead of hamburger. And shredded cheddar instead of Velveeta.
Serve this soup with crusty bread and a big, green salad.

Don’t leave me yet! Even if you’re not too sure about the sauerkraut, don’t pass judgment on this Smoked Sausage and Sauerkraut Soup yet.
I managed to feed this to my family and everyone ate it. And they liked it.
I told them it was German soup. I never mentioned the sauerkraut. My pickiest eater asked what it was and I told him cabbage. He thought there was a bit too much of it and picked around it, but he does that with a lot of things. He liked the rest of the soup though. It didn’t hurt that I served it with pretzel rolls.
This soup fits perfectly with our Slow Cooker Soup series. All the ingredients go into the crockpot and that’s it. Several hours later it’s ready to eat. It’s hearty, filling and wonderful with pretzel rolls or hot cornbread.

Need a little weeknight comfort food? This one’s for you then.
This recipe came about when I looked up from my computer and realized it was already 5:30 and I hadn’t started dinner. (And no, the irony that I’m a food blogger and still have this problem is not lost on me.)
I had a smoked sausage in the fridge and a daughter begging for mac & cheese. But I didn’t want to make the usual kind. A rummage through the cheese drawer yielded a block of Swiss and a new recipe came into being.

We eat a fair amount of hot dogs, brats and smoked sausage during the summer. They are so quick to throw on the grill and serve with watermelon, corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes or some such.
I don’t have any recipes that involve hot dogs. I do have some recipes for smoked sausage and Italian sausage: [Read more…] about Ingredient Spotlight: Hot Dogs & Sausage
A while back I shared how excited I was to find Quaker Steel Cut Oats at the grocery store. They are significantly less expensive than the other brand I’ve seen and I like to use them for oatmeal in the slow cooker.
I never imagined I would use them in soup.
But then The Sweets Life linked up a recipe for Scotch Oatmeal Soup for Ingredient Spotlight: Cabbage. I knew I had to try it. The oats are kind of like barley. They add heartiness to the soup.
I modified The Sweets Life recipe a little bit. Hers doesn’t have any meat in it and I knew I’d get much further serving a soup full of cabbage to my family if I included some meat. I was right. They all ate the soup and liked it.
