Ingredients

• 4 pieces bratwurst sausages
• 4 medium yellow potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small, bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 2

In a large pot over medium-high heat, add the bratwurst sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pot and slice into small pieces. Set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes, chicken broth, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, gently mash some of the potatoes in the pot to create a creamier texture. Leave some chunks for added bite.

Step 6

Stir in the cooked bratwurst slices, heavy cream, and shredded cheddar cheese. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through and allow the cheese to melt, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
