Beef Brats and Beans Soup #SundaySupper

Beef Brats and Beans Soup

This week Sunday Supper explores Warming Trends! Soups, stews, warm desserts and drinks to name a few. What keeps you warm when the weather cools? I’m a soup nut. Truth be told I eat soup year-round but cold weather soups are my favorite.

I’ll never pass up a hearty beef stew or creamy potato soup. When I go out and the meal choice is soup or salad, well soup usually wins. If New England Clam Chowder is on the menu, I’m a taker. That soup is my gauge for rating a restaurant. Good soup, especially chowder I will remember.

For today’s Sunday Supper I made Beef Brats and Beans Soup. Smoky beef brats, black beans, kale and potatoes round out this satisfying soup. Hearty but not heavy. Enjoy a cup before your main meal or a bowlful with some crusty bread for dinner. I toasted potato hot dog rolls to sop up that beefy broth!

Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Fudge

Fudge is a quick, easy to make dessert or anytime treat. Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Fudge represents the best of fall flavors wrapped up into a sweet delight. Great for an adult party, after school snack or trick-or-treat idea.

For my Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Fudge, I used JELL-O Pumpkin Spice Flavor Instant Pudding, JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme- 7oz., BAKER’S White Chocolate and KRAFT Caramel Bits.

Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Fudge layers delicious pumpkin flavored fudge, caramel and drizzled with white chocolate. This fudge gets a double kick of white chocolate and caramel. I put BAKER’S White Chocolate and KRAFT Caramel Bits IN the fudge too!
