Bad Little Children Soup


Brat Soup
http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/

1 package Brat Style Sausage (6 To A Pack) Give Or Take Some Dependent On Your Tastes
4 whole Carrots Rough Chopped
2 whole Potatoes Roughly Diced
1 whole Yellow Onion Roughly Chopped
2 quarts Chicken Stock
½ head Cabbage, Shredded
2 cups Swiss Cheese

Slice brats into 1/2 inch rounds. Chop vegetables and add all to a medium crock pot. Feel free to add whatever additional veggies you desire. Green beans would be great, kale instead of cabbage would be wonderful; make this your own. Add chicken stock to fill crock pot until about a 1/2 inch from the top. Turn on low and cook for 6 to 8 hours. Place 1/4 cup Swiss cheese in the middle of a serving bowl and ladle hot soup over cheese. This is so quick, I throw it together in the morning and have it for dinner when I get home from work. Excellent with crusty bread.


I chose this soup simple because I had leftover bratwursts and half a head of cabbage to use up. Of course I had to add in some herbs(thyme, parsley and bay), salt and pepper. Fairly basic quickie soup. Oh and yes my kids do eat cabbage this way. It is cooked, but since I put it in at the end there isn't time for it to get slimy. Photobucket
