A healthified version of beer and sausage cheese chowder. Rich, cheesy and delicious, and only 210 calories per serving!

Ingredients

  • 1 package 8 Ounce Package, Sausage Links Of Choice
  • 3 stalks Celery, Roughly Chopped
  • 2 whole Carrots, Roughly Chopped
  • 1 whole Onion, Roughly Chopped
  • 1 head Cauliflower, Roughly Chopped Into Florets
  • 2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 1 cup Water (or More)
  • 6 ounces, fluid Pale Ale Of Choice
  • 1 can Non-fat Evaporated Milk, 12 Ounce Can
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 4 ounces, weight Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
  • 4 ounces, weight Gouda Cheese, Shredded
  • 3 whole Potatoes (optional)
  • ¼ cups Chives, Finely Chopped (for Serving)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika, For Serving

Preparation

1. In a large stock pot over medium heat, brown the sausage on all sides. Remove the sausage from the pot and drain off all but about two tablespoons of the fat.
2. Add the celery, carrots, and onion into the pot and cook until the onions are soft. Add the cauliflower, chicken stock and water. Use more or less water as needed to cover the cauliflower. Bring to a boil and cook until cauliflower is soft, about 10 minutes.
3. Pull about two cups of the liquid out of the pot and set it aside. Use an immersion blender to puree the remaining stock and vegetables in the pot until very smooth. If you need to, add in some of the reserved liquid while pureeing.
4. Add the beer, evaporated milk, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low. Add the cheeses and stir until cheese is melted and all ingredients are well incorporated.
5. Slice the sausage and add it into the soup. If you’d like to add potatoes, prick the potatoes with a fork all over and microwave for 3-4 minutes, until soft. Then cut them into cubes and add to the soup.
6. Taste the soup and add more salt and/or cayenne pepper to your taste, if necessary.
7. Serve soup with chopped chives and an additional sprinkle of paprika.
