Soup season is here, and it’s here to stay for at least the next 5 months.
I’m a big fan of soups, stews and everything in between (I’m looking at you, chowders). Eating a bowl of hot soup for dinner with a slice of bread–there’s nothing like it. NOTHING LIKE IT.
I’ve already made a handful of soups this season, but this one may take the cake. It’s got all of the best things inside of it (sausage and potatoes!) and is extremely hearty, like a good stew should be.
Don’t forget to add a splash of apple cider vinegar right before serving. The acidity adds an extra layer of flavor to an already savory & sour stew, making it dang near perfection.
You can use whatever sausage you like with this stew. Experiment! Add bratwurst or knockwurst, chicken and apple sausage (I bet that would be really tasty) or kielbasa.
I went with a simple smoked sausage and it turned out great.
Enjoy!
