lol I have to chuckle at some of these comments. This STEW is delicious as is! First of all, it's not a soup, so there's no need to add extra broth. And secondly, you can call it a stew, because all stew means is solid ingredients that have been cooked in liquid. And thirdly, all those people who are saying it lacks seasoning have clearly had their taste buds destroyed by over-processed salty food. A half tsp. salt plus the brats = PLENTY of salt and the other seasonings are just right! (okay, I admit I cut the thyme in half, but only b/c I hate dried thyme and I didn't want to go out to the garden at 11 pm to cut fresh). This recipe needs no changes except a turn of the pepper mill over your bowl. Next time I may use someone else's idea of browning the sliced brats first and then briefly sauteing the veggies in the fat--that's a good idea. Of all the homemade soups and stews I've made, this is the only one that tasted good right out of the pot. I can't imagine what it'll taste like after a night spent in the fridge!!!! So delicious! Forget the tomatoes, forget the potatoes, make it as written and enjoy! Thanks for a GREAT recipe!

Really delicious. Repalced cabbage for 6-8 small potatoes, 1 tsp of garlic powder, pepper and salted to taste (needed more).

This was a hearty and filling stew. I used light polish kielbasa instead of brats which reduced the fat but it really changed the flavor of the stew. I have to try it again using brats.

This was okay and I will probably not make again. The flavor of the bratwurst was okay in the soup but the actual pieces of brats seemed not to mix very well with the stew. I thought this was going to be better, kinda' disappointed =/

Great stew, but I used chicken brats and let's just say, when eating brats, you want the real deal. Yes, the real deal has a lot more fat, but what the heck...sometimes you just gotta live a little.

I used a 48 oz. jar of beans, since that's what I had and I didn't feel like scooping 18 oz. out for another use... ha ha I also needed 16 oz. more chicken broth, perhaps because of the extra beans. I added perhaps one more clove of garlic. All that said, this was a fantabulous recipe! My family loved it, even those who don't like beans or cabbage! It was even better the second day, and that's all it lasted -- 2 days. Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

One of the best recipes I've made from this site. The changes I made were very few. I browned the brats, then removed and sauteed the carrots, onions and celery. Also added about a tsp. of minced garlic. I also added 2 small Yukon Gold potatoes chopped up. It was a very yummy soup. I will definitely make it again. I think it would be good with Kielbasa. Next time I think I might try using boneless skinless chicken breast as the meat base.

Followed one suggestion and added a pint of homecanned tomatoes. Used venison bratwurst, browned first and grease removed and upped the garlic. Very tasty, filling and healthy. I'm glad cool weather is beginning to filter in because recipes like this one beg for a chill in the air.

My family and I really liked this recipe and I will be making it again, but I did think it needed a little more seasoning. I also thought it tasted even better the next day. Thanks for the great recipe!

This recipe was very disappointing. The dish was bland and lacked flavor. I even went back to confirm I hadn't missed a key ingredient. I'm surprised because this is the first recipe I found that I would never prepare again.

Two cans of chicken broth was not enough, more like 4 cans. Also, I had to bring it back up to a boil for the cabbage to cook. I used fresh basil, and went heavy on the other spices and added black pepper. Other than that, this was very good. Like a boiled dinner without the potatoes.

We and our guest loved it. I made it again within a week and gave the recipe to our guest to take home with him. I didn't change anything in the original recipe, although I know some people did.

When I went to the grocery I thought I had chicken broth, so I substituted 2 cans of cream of chicken soup with 3 cans of water. I was nervous of the outcome, but my husband and I both thought it was good. He said, "Actually this is really good!". He is accustomed to my experiments.

Easy to prepare, I browned the brats a little then pulled them out of the pan and then sweat the veggies. I always have a way of making more than what I should so I added two large boxes of chicken broth. The thyme and basil really add flavor and I used a little Cavenders Greek seasoning to it. Can't wait til tomorrow after it has marinated all night. It is an outstanding and simple recipe... Delicious... Good job!

We softened the celery, onion and minced real garlic in a bit of oil, and added home canned tomatoes along with some V8 juice, as it was kind of lacking in liquid. I thought it was just OK that night. Let it sit in the fridge overnight, and wow, I couldn't stop eating it. Like a lot of soups and stews, it was much better the second day. It cries out for more black pepper!
