Happy New Year! To start off the year, here’s the first post for my Pinterest Fridays series!
(I’ve desperately tried to think of a more catchy name, but so far, nothin’.)
Pinterest Fridays will be (as their name pretty much indicates), days when I’ll make and post something I found on Pinterest.
(Are you following me on Pinterest? If not, find my boards here!)
This recipe came from my Soups & Stews & Chowders & Chilis board and comes from The Peace + Love + Low Carb blog. According to the pin, it’s a CrockPot recipe, but I just made it in an evening. The original recipe can be found here.
This. Soup. Is. Amazing. There’s really no other way to say it. I know I have my own recipe for Beer Cheese Soup, but this one kind of blows that one out of the water. I think it’s the addition of sausage.
Dennis and I ate this in complete silence, because we were too busy shoveling it into our mouths to say much of anything. It also makes killer leftovers.
My one mishap with this one is that I tried to taste it while it was cooking, and I’m pretty sure I gave myself 2nd degree tongue burns. I burned my tongue on a Thursday, and it didn’t stop hurting until the next Tuesday. So…don’t do that.
I would say that you absolutely have to use the Trader Joe’s sausage I used, because it’s so good, and it made the soup so good, but really, any kind of hot sausage will do. (Or mild sausage, if that’s what you’re into!)
This is perfect for a chilly evening (Which, as it turns out, we DO have in Southern California!). Give it a try, and I promise you won’t be sorry you did.
(Incidentally, if anyone has anything better than Pinterest Friday to call these posts, I’d love to hear any suggestions!)
