I made this tonight for a church soup supper. Went over GREAT! I’m making it again for my wife to take to work for a potluck lunch. I used heavy cream instead of milk which made it even richer.

Thanks so much! So glad that you liked it. I need to make it again soon because my husband loves it!

Could you use ground beef and beef broth instead?
Beth Pierce
Yes you could but I think I would use ground beef and chicken broth. I know it is not customary but I think it would taste better.
Jody
Can you make this in a crock pot?
Beth Pierce
I am not sure because I have not tried. If you do be sure to brown the sausage before placing in the crock pot. Maybe one of the readers will have tried that and respond.

What is the total cooking time? I’m going to try and double the ingredients.

About one hour. Enjoy your soup!

I tried it in the crockpot and it didn’t thicken at all. It is much better if you make it on the stovetop.
But this has quickly become a family favorite!
Beth Pierce
Thanks Lauren for the heads up!

Just wondering, do you drain the grease after cooking the sausage?
Beth Pierce
Yes go ahead and drain it if there is an excess of it. I might leave 1 tablespoon in there.
Jeanne
My husband and I were tired of cooking during Covid. Found this recipe. It was quick and easy, with ingredients I had at home. Could also use spicy hamburger. Will definitely make again. Thank you!

James Krolak
What type of sausage do you recommend for this? And what type of cheddar?
I made this the other night in my Instant Pot (didn’t actually pressure cook it–just used the saute mode) and it turned out okay. I used a spicy ground Italian sausage ‘cuz I use that a lot for other recipes. That turned out a little too spicy, I think, so I’m curious what other people prefer. I also used just a mild cheddar, but I wonder if a sharp shredded cheddar would give it good flavor.
★★★★
Beth Pierce
Sorry about the delay Jim. I injured my knee and I am a little slower at everything. I use Jimmy Dean’s all natural pork sausage and a good quality sharp cheddar that I get down the street at a local market.
