Beer Cheese Soup

This is a wonderful beer cheese soup that will warm you up and give you the extra protein you need to do all that spring cleaning.  I you don't want to add the beer you can just add a little more chicken broth to equal that amount of beer you would normally add.  Either way this soup is wonderful.  I paired it with some cornbread.  That recipe is in this blog if you want to look that up too.

 

 

Beer Cheese Soup

 

 

 

 Sauté onion and garlic together for a few minutes then add 1 cup celery and carrots to the pan and cook until soft.  Add 1tps hot pepper sauce, ½ tsp cayenne, ½ tsp salt and pepper or more if you like any of these ingredients.   

 

Add 3 cups of chicken broth, and 2 cups of beer, 1/3 cup butter and stir to combine.  Add slowly while stirring 1/3 cup flour. 

 

 

Add 4 cups of milk or half and half.  Stir until mixed well.  Add 6 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or more if you like it creamy.   Then add 1/3 cup of cream cheese and 1/3 cup of sour cream.

 

Last thing to add to this beer cheese soup is 2 TBS of Worcestershire Sauce, 1 TBS Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp dry mustard.

 

Simmer the beer cheese soup for 10 minutes and serve.  I made cornbread to go with the recipe that is in this blog a couple of days ago.

 

Enjoy
