Baby Doe's Cheese Soup image

My Mother-in-law gave this recipe to me years ago. She got it from the Baby Doe's Restaurant in Dallas, TX. I've made it several times and it's a really good cheese soup. I've had it hand written on a tiny yellow note paper for all these years, so I thought I'd post it here and get a good printout. :)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large chicken for stock
3 large carrots, diced small
1 medium onion, diced small
3 celery stalks diced
1 tsp salt and pepper or more
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 c milk, 2%
1 c half and half cream
1 c flour
1 c butter
6 oz beer
1/4 lb parmesan cheese
1 lb velveeta cheese
1 Tbsp celery salt

Steps:

  • 1. Cook chicken for stock - judge how much stock you need. (about 2 1/2 qts ?) Save chicken for other uses.
  • 2. Boil vegetables in 2 qts. of stock with spices. Strain vegetables and keep stock hot. Add another 1/2 qt of stock.
  • 3. Make a roux with butter and flour. I always put the flour first, in whatever pot I'm planing to make the roux, and let it cook a bit to a lite brown before adding the butter. Add the chicken stock slowly.
  • 4. Add milk and half n half cream and Parmesan cheese. Stirring constantly - add cubed Velveeta cheese and blend together thoroughly.
  • 5. Stir in beer and return vegetables. Now, I usually put the vegetables in the blender and whir them to a sauce then add back to the soup.
