Instructions
-
Boil Potatoes: In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add the potatoes, peeled and diced, and allow them to cook until they start to get tender.
-
Add Ingredients: To the saucepan, add the chopped green onions, salt, sliced smoked sausage (kielbasa), black pepper, cayenne pepper for a spicy kick, and the dark beer. Let the mixture simmer until the potatoes are completely tender and infused with all the flavors.
-
Incorporate Creaminess: Once the potatoes are tender, it’s time to add richness to the soup. Pour in the half-and-half and add the shredded cheddar cheese. Allow the soup to simmer gently until the cheese is fully melted and the soup reaches a creamy consistency.
-
Adjust Thickness (Optional): If you prefer a thicker soup, you can add a thickening agent at this stage. Options include flour, corn starch, or instant mashed potatoes. Stir well to incorporate the thickener and simmer until the desired consistency is achieved.
