I loved this soup! My girlfriend doesnt eat any soup besides chicken noodle and she loved this soup to. I did changed it up a bit. Along with the bratwurst i also added a half pound of bacon. I cut it up into 1 inch long strips and cooked it with the bratwurst. I was out of swiss cheese and found that a slice of american cheese in each bowl was a great substitute. I added a minced clove of fresh garlic and a few shakes of red pepper flakes when browning the meat. I also substituted corn beef broth (from the night before) for the water. I WILL make again.

Excellent and will definitely make again. I used Turkey Bratwurst and thought it worked well. I also added red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, soy sauce and replaced 1 cp of water with 1 cup of chicken broth.

This was very tasty. I'm always looking for different recipes to try and I am glad I tried this. I did add some carrots for some color.

So yummy! I have made this several times. I have made it with regular brats and spicy brats. I also have made it with cabbage, spinach, chard and most recently bok choy. It is always great. Also, I add some chicken stock in place of the water.

Absolutely wonderful recipe. Perfect for cold weather, but also good in warm. Be sure to let the cabbage cook down and the soup thicken. Great comfort food!

This was so yummy. My kids kept coming into the kitchen to taste it as I was cooking. They were excited for dinner. I did however add some fresh minced garlic, salt, pepper and blanched spinach to the recipe. I used less of the cabbage as well, and I put that in during the browning stage.

WOW! This soup is wonderful! My husband can't stop raving about it! He says it's a taste explosion. (Of course, he loves bratwurst.) His eyes opened so wide after just one bite! I did season it up. Will definitely make again.

I loved this soup. Was afraid of using milk but I'm so glad I gave it a try. I did doctor it a little because it was abit bland. As in previous reviews I added soy sauce, a bit of red pepper powder and liquid smoke..served with some crusty bread and made my husband a happy man...definitely will make again

We really enjoyed this! It was nice and creamy - great comfort food on a cold, winter night. I didn't add all the milk so it was very thick, just the way we like it!
