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!
