Slowcooker Cheesy Brats and Potato Soup

Thick cheesy soup, chunky potatoes, flavorful brats topped with a handful of cheese – very good!  Bytes made this cheesy good potato and brats soup for supper on a cold, rainy evening recently.  (It’s almost May, folks!  And we’re still eating hot soup to warm the soul!)

If there are leftover brats in the refrigerator, or if you purchase precooked brats, you can skip the browning and just put the sliced brats into the slow cooker.   The red pepper provides a bit of color, as well as flavor.  You can substitute green peppers.  Or Bytes used a yellow pepper for this bowl since that was what in the refrigerator.  One carrot, shredded or sliced diagonally, could also be substituted for color, if peppers aren’t available.  No extra salt is added since the brats and soup have enough to flavor the mix, but you can add pepper (and salt) to taste, if you want.  Give everything a quick stir before covering the pot.   Cooking time can vary somewhat according to the brand of the slow cooker so you might want to check to see if the potatoes are tender after about three hours the first time or two that you make this filling soup.  Make a note – because you know you will want to make this soup again!
