Spectacular. What an easy recipe to prepare, with ingredients that are often on-hand at our house. I did not remove the bratwurst castings; it seemed more trouble than it would have been worth. I used three potatoes and added another 1/2 cup of water after I added the cabbage. There wasn't any liquid to "boil," that's when I added the extra water. I did use a little garlic salt and fresh ground pepper. My wife was totally impressed and I rarely impress her with my cooking.

I'm sorry, but my family hated this soup. I rarely ever toss out food (too cheap), but this has got to go!

I LOVE this soup! I actually made it for dinner for my boyfriends family! What a hit! Now they ask me to make it all the time. I'm not a fan of Swiss cheese, so I use Cooper Sharp instead. Cooper is a wonderful compliment to the bratwurst flavor. This soup is almost a stew. Absolutely great!

My family LOVES cabbage, so this recipe already started out on the right foot! I followed the recipe, except for following Holly's suggestion of using sweet italian sausage instead of bratwurst (a favorite of my husband's). We will surely make this again!

Substituted broccoli for cabbage, and 1/2 cheddar 1/2 mozzarella for swiss cheese.

This was great. Filling, cheap to make, easy! I do think, the cabbage is a little overcooked. I would reduce the last 20 minute simmer to about 10. Also, next time, I will find a less spicy sausage. We used one, and it had too much kick!

This was delicious! Starts off looking a little weird, but I followed the recipe exactly and it came out great. My finicky 4-year-old, and my husband who despises cabbage, both loved it (me too)!

I was looking for a way to use some leftover Bratwurst Patties and did a search for "bratwurst" on this site. What a hit! Wonderful recipe. My whole family ate it up! I substituted 2 cups of shredded mixed blend cheese (Mont. Jack/Cheddar) instead of the Swiss. And I added 1 teaspoon of curry powder to the mix. A real keeper!

Great soup. I used italian sausage and substituted broccoli for the cabbage. Other than that it just needed salt for our taste. My kids and hubby loved it. Next time I'll try it with cabbage and bratwurst
