Recipe Box, Short Cut, Slow Cook Sausage & Beer Cheese Soup

This soup gets a triple star rating
Not only is it delicious ⭐️
It’s made with 2 short cuts
which makes it lightning fast to throw to together ⭐️⭐️
AND
You can make it 3 different ways!
Instant Pot, slow cooker, or stove top ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Cream of Chicken Soup, chicken broth, and beer are the base
Chopped veggies, cheese and sausage are the added ingredients
I used Jimmy Dean fully cooked sausage crumbles as another short cut
You can use any cooked breakfast sausage,
Italian sausage or chopped smoked sausage you like
I opted to use the slow cook function on my Instant Pot,
First saute the vegetables on the saute function
Then add the soup, broth, beer and sausage
Stir
Cover, set to slow cook and go do something fun for 3 1/2 hours
Add the cheese, and let cook covered, for 30 more minutes
Taste and season if desired
note*
the soup and the cheese is salty so you might only want a dash of pepper
Serve it up and enjoy!

Jenna, the soup looks perfect for a rainy day. I have been on a soup kick for over a week, love it for dinner. Hopefully, you can stay in on this messy day!
thanks Pam, yes, I did my running around yesterday so I could stay home today and tomorrow…I like to hibernate when the weather is bad!
I love soups all year round. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thanks Cyndi, me too!
This looks really good! I’m thinking of having a soup party and I may have to audition this one!
Super easy soup Jeanie, and a soup party sounds like fun!!
Jenna, this soup looks delicious! I adore soup, and make it at least once a week during the fall and winter. In fact, I’m making white chicken chili today. We are super excited…we are getting a big snow today. We haven’t seen snow in so long, and we are getting six inches today! Thanks for the recipe. I know my family will love it!
White chicken chili is perfect for a snowy day, I hope you don’t have any snow issues Shannon!
The soup sounds fabulous, Jenna!
Thanks Kitty!
This sounds very good and thanks for reminding me that the can of chicken soup and the cheese can make it a bit salty so I will have to get the low sodium version in both the soup and the broth. We really try to watch the sodium so thanks again for the reminder. 😄
of course! thank you Cyndi!
This recipe sounds so good Jenna. Would be so good on this rainy night too. Love the presentation with your pretty white dishes…….
thank you Emily, definitely a lot of soup weather this week!
Another dish that is tempting me to get an Instant Pot – but since I do have a slow cooker, nothing holding me back here. I like the flavor combinations. Jimmy Dean sausage is wonderful, too! Certainly this recipe is a keeper!
My favorite part of the Instant Pot is the saute function, very handy and it heats up really fast. I hope you enjoy the soup!
Sounds yummy Jenna! All of the sudden it’s soup weather again!
I like soup, but am getting tired of soup weather 🙂
