IDAHO POTATO, BEER AND CHEESE SOUP



IDAHO POTATO, BEER AND CHEESE SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tablespoon oil
1 large onion, diced
1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
1 quart chicken stock or base
12 ounces Grand Teton Deep Powder Ale (or another pale/golden ale)
1 3/4 quart heavy cream
2 large Idaho russet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups asiago cheese
2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Sweat onions and garlic in oil in a large pot until the onion becomes tender. Add chicken stock, beer, heavy cream and potatoes. Boil and reduce heat to simmer for approximately 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to avoid scalding. Once potatoes are tender, remove pot from heat and fold in cheeses. Puree in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth (you may use a sieve or strainer if a more elegant and smooth presentation is desired). Finish by adding lemon juice, chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. Serves 6 to 8 people. Serving suggestion: Top with diced chives, green onions or bacon and shredded cheese. Pair with a fresh local brew poured into a frosted glass to drink while making or eating the soup!

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-shredded cheese. Choose a sharp cheddar cheese for a more flavorful soup.
  • If you don't have beer on hand, you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead. However, beer adds a nice depth of flavor to the soup.
  • If you like your soup a little spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika.
  • For a thicker soup, add more cheese or a roux made from butter and flour.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

Potato beer cheese soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it thick or thin, spicy or mild, this soup is sure to please everyone at your table.
