Bratwurst Soup
I came up with this recipe one day when I had some leftover bratwurst. It has been a favorite of my husband's ever since and is requested whenever the guys are hanging out. —Anna Miller, Churdan, Iowa

Reviews
I'm a huge fan of brats so when I came across this recipe I had to try it and I absolutely loved it. My wife and three daughters, ages 10/14/16, weren't interested for a variety of personal preference reasons. I wasn't mad it simply meant for me! I will definitely be making this again soon and often.
OK firstly what is leftover brats, never heard of such a thing :-) I will definitely give this a try, I make Cowboy Candy alllllll the time and it's great on brats, so I know it will go great here as well. Thanks for the recipe, I'll report back later
Very good! I made the recipe as written except I left out the jalapeños- did not have any. Will make this again. Joyce Moynihan. Volunteer Field Editor
Cheese??
Made this exactly as listed, turned out great! Was a hit with the family. We’ll try it with different flavors of brats next.
Absolutely delicious! Didn't have Navy beans so used cannellini beans and a little more jalapenos as we love things spicy. Will definitely be making this often.
Made this Bratwurst Soup close to the listed recipe and it was good. I was surprised how creamy the soup was. Only modifications I made were I only had about 5 pickled jalapenos which I diced, didn't have navy beans, so I diced a small potato and par boiled it and a pinch of caraway seed which was added just prior to when the broth was added. I used deli sliced American Cheese.
It was GREAT !, Yes, I did alter it a bit. I reduced the pepper and added Tabisco - Chilpote flavor - 1/4 teaspoon.
