INGREDIENTS:

• 19.5 oz. spicy turkey sausage
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1 white onion, diced
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 5 tablespoons flour
• 3 (14.5 oz) cans chicken broth
• 12 oz. can of your favorite beer
• 2 lbs. russet potatoes, diced in 1/2″ pieces
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon white balsmic vinegar
• Kosher salt
• fresh cracked pepper
• Garnish:
• sliced green onion
• shredded cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add turkey sausage and brown, crumbling with a spatula until cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Heat butter in the same large pot (no need to wipe it out) over medium-high heat.
• Add onion, carrots, celery and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently for 10-12 minutes.
• Turn heat to medium and add garlic, oregano and thyme and cook for another minute.
• Then add flour and stir to coat veggies. Cook for one more minute, stirring frequently.
• Stir in beer, chicken broth, and diced potatoes along with another pinch of salt and pepper.
• Cover, turn heat up to medium-high and bring to a simmer.
• Once it begins to simmer, turn heat to low, cover and simmer 10-12 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender. Stir occasionally to prevent potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Remove soup from heat. Transfer half of the soup mixture to a high-speed blend. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour back into pot.
• Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheese. Then add white balsamic vinegar.
• Add cooked sausage back into the pot. Heat the soup over medium heat for a couple minutes, until sausage is heated through.
• Garnish with green onions and shredded cheddar cheese and enjoy!
