This beer cheese soup is delicious. As a Wisconsin native, I’m accustomed to a fantastic beer cheese soup. This recipe is a salute to my home state, America’s dairy land, and a state that brews a mighty fine beer. Serve with lots of popcorn floating on top!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups diced carrots
- 1 ½ cups diced onion
- 1 ½ cups diced celery
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups beer
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup flour
- 4 cups milk or half and half
- 6 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- popped popcorn, for garnish
Directions
Step 1
Place carrots, onion, celery, and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in hot pepper sauce, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pour in chicken broth and beer; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir flour into melted butter with a wire whisk; cook and stir until flour is light brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually stir in milk, whisking to prevent scorching, until thickened. Remove from heat and gradually stir in cheese. Cover to keep warm.
Step 3
Stir beer mixture into cheese mixture. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Serve topped with popcorn.
