RECIPE: Brat, Beer and Cheese Soup

17 years ago

Thanks, Roselin! I made this last night and it was great! Ken and I both really loved it. We have only had bratwurst once or twice before and so it is kind of a new taste for us - and this soup is a real winner.

Here's the Lentil Barley Soup from T of H and it is good.....think I liked it better with an extra can of chicken broth and skip the tomatoes.
1 med onion, chipped
1/2c chopped green pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 T butter
1 can (49 1/2 oz)chicken broth*
3 med. carrots, sliced
1/2c dry lentils
1 1/2tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp salt..........or to taste
1/4 tsp pepper
1c cubed, cooked chicken or turkey
1/2c quick cooking barley....I used the regular
2 med. fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
In Dutch oven saute the onion, green pepper and garlic in butter til tender. Add the next 7 ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
Add chicken, barley, and mushrooms; return to boil, reduce heat cover and simmer until barley is tender ( about 45 minutes if using the regular barley). Add tomatoes and heat through. Yield 8-10 servings.
*note the amount of chicken broth.
Will let the flavors blend and have it tomorrow night with blueberry muffins.

Actually, after it was refrigerated overnight, it was very good. My husband says, "It's a keeper." I love lentils and barley so it was a good combination for me.
