Provided by Amy Thielen

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
1 to 1 1/2 large carrots, diced (about 3/4 cup)
3/4 cup small-diced piquillo peppers, or 1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock, low-sodium store-bought or homemade
One 12-ounce bottle beer, preferably a mild-flavored blond or pale ale
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
12 ounces aged yellow cheddar (aged at least 2 years), grated
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Mustard oil or extra-virgin olive oil, for garnish
Fresh goat cheese, for garnish
Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until well incorporated, about 5 minutes more.
  • Add the chicken stock, beer and half-and-half and cook, whisking often, at a very slow simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Add the cheddar to the soup by the handful, whisking each batch until smooth. Add the Worcestershire, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the nutmeg, mustard and lemon juice, and stir to combine.
  • Puree the soup in batches in a blender (holding a thick towel over the lid to prevent overflow) until very smooth.
  • Just before serving, reheat the soup until steaming and taste for seasoning, adding salt as necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each bowl with a swirl of mustard oil, a dollop of goat cheese and a sprinkle of thyme.

MONIKA'S BEER CHEESE SOUP



Monika's Beer Cheese Soup image

Years ago, this soup was a starter for me at a special restaurant that no longer exists. I have been trying to master that recipe and gee golly I think I've got it!

Provided by Monika Rosales @THEDEVOTEDCOOK

Categories     Cream Soups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoon(s) butter
1/2 cup(s) onion, diced small
1 clove(s) garlic mashed
2 dash(es) worcestershire sauce
12 ounce(s) beer
14 ounce(s) chicken broth
2 cup(s) milk
2 cup(s) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
1 sprig(s) parsley

Steps:

  • In a large pot, saute the onions with the butter (don't brown). Then, add the garlic and worcestershire.
  • Add 12 oz of beer and bring it to a gentle boil. The liquor will evaporate, but the taste will stay; making it kid friendly.
  • Add 14 oz of the chicken broth of your choice, 2 cups of milk, and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. First, dilute the broth with a bit of water to form a paste and gently stir in the rest of the ingredients. When it starts to thicken, turn the heat down and while still stirring add 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it completely melts in. Be careful not to burn the bottom and constantly stir on a simmer. Garnish with a sprig of parsley and enjoy.
