CHEDDAR CHEESE & BEER SOUP



Cheddar Cheese & Beer Soup image

The taste of beer is subtle, but it's just enough to complement the cheese in this rich and creamy soup. For a slightly sweeter version, you can use apple juice instead of beer. -Holly Lewis, Swink, Colorado

HORSERADISH CHEDDAR BEER SOUP



Horseradish Cheddar Beer Soup image

This hearty soup is adapted from a recipe by Jenny Levison, owner of Souper Jenny, a Buckhead GA cafe that serves hundreds of bowls of soup a day from a menu that changes daily. Jenny's soup-making tips include "tasting everything as you go, using recipes as a guide. Read through them and substitute if you need to adapt to what you have on hand or your taste, and then try it!" She suggests using a dark beer like Guinness; others prefer pale ale ... but use a lighter beer if you'd like. I especially like the combination of horseradish, cheese and beer in the basic recipe and suggest adding spices, etc., to heighten flavors as desired. I've included Optional Additions that might give you some ideas but are not part of the original recipe. Another Golden Whisk winner as one of "The Best Recipes of 2009" awarded by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Categories     Cheese

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups recipe vegetable stock (Easy, Basic Vegetable Stock recommended)
1 (15 ounce) can roasted red peppers, drained and finely chopped
2 (12 ounce) bottles beer
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
salt and pepper, to taste
chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a heavy stockpot over medium-high heat, heat olive oil for 60 seconds. Add onions and sauté 5 minutes or until onions are soft, then add garlic. Cook 5 minutes more, then add flour and cook, stirring often, for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Add stock slowly and stir to make sure all flour is dissolved. Add roasted peppers and beer and bring soup to a boil. Lower heat and simmer soup for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Take off heat, slowly stir in grated cheese and add horseradish, then use an immersion blender to make a smooth soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
  • Optional Additions: Some find that a dash or so of cayenne stirred in at the end is all they need, but you could alternatively add 2 tsps. each (or amounts desired) of dry mustard and Worcestershire when you add the horseradish. For a richer soup, stir in about 1/2 cup heavy cream just after blending the soup in Step 3. Then heat gently on LOW, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes before final seasoning off the heat. Many nonvegetarians garnish the finished soup with some cooked, crumbled bacon.

SPICY WHITE CHEDDAR BEER CHEESE SOUP RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Spicy White Cheddar Beer Cheese Soup Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by sassy47

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/3 cup carrot, finely chopped
1 cup white onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. garlic, chopped
1 Tbsp. jalapeno, chopped (remove seeds)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup of light beer (a light lager is preferable)
1 cup chicken stock
1 bay leaf
1/2 Tbsp. black peppercorns, whole
1/2 Tbsp. caraway seeds (toasted if possible)
small handful of fresh thyme sprigs
1/2 cup milk, room temperature
1/2 cup half and half, room temperature
2 1/2 cups of white cheddar cheese, shredded (adjust this to your liking!)
salt and pepper to taste
2 (large) or 4 (small) bread bowls
chives and chopped bacon, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a deep pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add celery, carrot, onion, garlic, and jalapeño. Cook until veggies become very tender, about 20 minutes. Add flour, and stir continuously to avoid browning. Let the veggies and flour cook for a few minutes, as this will alleviate the "flour" taste from occurring in the soup. The consistency of the veggies and flour together should feel similar to a vegetable "paste" as you stir it. Slowly add the beer, while still stirring continuously. Then, slowly whisk in the chicken stock. Add the bay leaf, black peppercorns, caraway seeds, and fresh thyme. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add the room temperature milk and half and half, then stir to blend everything together, and bring to a quick boil. As soon as the soup starts to boil, immediately turn the heat back down to a simmer, and allow it to simmer for another ten minutes. Whisk in cheese, and check to be sure consistency is to your liking. Add more stock if it seems too thick. Strain entire contents into another large pot, and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve in a bread bowls.
