Yield 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 17
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.
ONION AND GARLIC BEER SOUP
Steps:
- In a heavy kettle cook the onions and the garlic in the oil over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is browned. Stir in the beer and the broth, simmer the mixture, covered, for 45 minutes, and stir in the sugar and salt and pepper to taste. While the soup is simmering, in a heavy skillet melt the butter over moderate heat, add the bread cubes, and cook them, stirring, until they are golden. Divide the soup among 6 bowls and top it with the Parmesan and the croutons.
BIER SUPPE (BEER SOUP)
These recipes I will be posting for awhile will be from "Heritage of Cooking" A Collection of Recipes from East Perry County, Missouri. Quote from one of the first pages..."These recipes have been gathered from Old Saxon Lutheran family files, Descendants of Saxon immigrants, residents of Perry County and their friends." This was compiled by The Saxon Lutheran Memorial in Frohna, Missouri, maintained by The Concordia Historical Institute The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod and printed in July 1965. This cookbook has so much history in it I wish you could read it for yourself. So you can get an idea of the time line here German Immigrants settled Perry County in 1839. Mom gave me this cookbook yesterday it is tattered and torn, so I'd like to preserve the older recipes in it by posted them to Recipezaar. Mom has written notes next to recipes that they were like the ones her mother (of German descent) made. So here I go with the first posting..... In my opinion no self-respecting German immigrant would step off the boat without this recipe. :) This first recipes is by Mrs. Selma Hiller

Steps:

- It states"cooking utensils", in other words a soup pot.
Tips
- Use a good quality beer for the best flavor. A dark beer will give the soup a richer flavor, while a lighter beer will result in a more delicate soup.
- Don't boil the soup after adding the beer. This will drive off the alcohol and ruin the flavor of the soup.
- Be careful not to overcook the vegetables. They should be tender but still retain their shape.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream, croutons, or chopped chives.
Conclusion
Beer soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beer. With its rich, complex flavor, beer soup is a satisfying and unique dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
