If you are looking for a soup that is the ultimate comfort food and extremely delicious, then look no further. This soup is serious savory-goodness in each bite.

When I was thinking about making a vegan beer cheese soup, I knew I wanted to amp it up in some way.

That’s where the vegan sausage and potatoes enter the picture. These additions take this soup to a whole new level. This soup is hearty and finger-licking good.

This soup has a few options for adjustments based on your preferences:

  • Want a thicker, more “stew-like” soup? Make the recipe as listed, and then let it sit for a bit. It will continue to thicken as it sits. This is the perfect way to eat this soup if you want to dip some crusty bread in it as you go.
  • Want it more “soupy”? Just add an additional cup of water or broth to the soup after it has cooked. It won’t be too thin, but it will stretch this soup out a little longer.
  • Not a fan of beer? Well, first of all, you won’t really taste the beer in this. So, I would recommend using beer regardless. But if you really don’t want to, add an additional cup of broth in place of the beer.
  • Not sure which kind of beer to use? I went with an IPA (I mean, I live in San Diego…it’s basically all we drink). But I would go with something with some flavor like an IPA or Pale Ale.

Ok, now that you know how you can adjust this recipe to your liking, let’s talk leftovers. If you have any that is.

You can freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container after you have cooked it and let it cool completely.

Or dish the soup into individual containers and place them in the fridge for easy weekday lunches. This soup should last 5-7 days in the fridge.

Notes

*You can get this at Whole Foods or online here.
**I would use an IPA or Pale Ale to get the best flavor. If you don’t want to use beer, you can substitute it for additional broth.
***After the soup starts to cool it will continue to thicken. You can either leave it on the thicker side or add an additional cup of vegan chicken broth or water to thin it out slightly.
****FOR LEFTOVERS: You can freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container after you have cooked it and let it cool completely. Or you can dish the soup into individual containers and place them in the fridge for an easy weekday lunch. This will last 5-7 days in the fridge.
