Wisconsin Native's Beer Cheese Soup image

As a Wisconsin native, I'm accustomed to a fantastic beer cheese soup. This is the recipe I've created, as 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!

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ cups diced carrots
1 ½ cups diced onion
1 ½ cups diced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups beer
⅓ cup butter
⅓ 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

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together carrots, onion, celery, and garlic. Stir in hot pepper sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and beer; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir in flour with a wire whisk; cook, stirring until the flour is light brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Gradually stir in milk, whisking to prevent scorching, until thickened. Remove from heat, and gradually stir in cheese. Keep warm.
  • Stir beer mixture into cheese mixture. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. Adjust for hot pepper sauce. Bring to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes. Serve topped with popcorn.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.
