Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter, divided
3 small leeks, light green and white part only, cleaned and finely chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely chopped
2 medium celery ribs, finely chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable stock
1 cup half-and-half or 1 cup light cream
1/2 lb vermont sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
cayenne pepper, to taste
3 apples, peeled, cored and finely diced

Steps:

  • Melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks, carrot and celery and sauté until tender or about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for 3 minutes, making sure to cook the flour evenly.
  • Add the chicken stock slowly, whisking to evenly combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Puree the soup in a blender, food processor or with a handheld mixer. Strain into a clean saucepan. Bring to a simmer.
  • Add the half-and-half, cheese, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Keep warm.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small skillet. Saute the apple pieces until they start to turn golden brown and soft, about 3 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a large tablespoon of the sauteed apple mixture.

This soup is a bit too salty for my taste. I would use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I always have a few extra carrots and celery in my fridge, and this soup is a great way to use them up.

I wasn't sure how the beer would taste in the soup, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a nice flavor and didn't overpower the other ingredients.
