CHEDDAR CHEESE & BEER SOUP
The taste of beer is subtle, but it's just enough to complement the cheese in this rich and creamy soup. For a slightly sweeter version, you can use apple juice instead of beer. -Holly Lewis, Swink, Colorado

Steps:
- Melt butter in a dutch oven (I used cast iron) a thick steel pan would work too though.
- Add onions and celery and saute until softened about 4-6 min.
- Stir in the flour.
- Mix in the broth and milk until ingredients are well mixed (it may help to do this slowly so the flour does not lump up on you).
- Add the potatoes and bring whole thing slowly to a boil.
- make sure you stir occasionally so it does not stick and burn at the bottom of the pan.
- Once boiling reduce heat to low and simmer with the lid only partially covering pan for about 10-15 minute.
- Add the broccoli and the beer (the darker the beer you use the more pronounced the flavor will be).
- cook for an additional 15-20 minute NOTE: the longer you cook at this stage the softer your vegitables will be.
- cook longer if you prefer them to be soft.
- Stir in the Cheese (Extra sharp cheddar is the best as it has a strong enough flavor to survive the rest of the ingrediants. Especially if you are using a dairy Aisle cheese such as kraft. in this case you must use Extra sharp.).
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and hot pepper sauce (I prefer to add a little more hot pepper sauce to give the soup a little bit of a kick.).
- Serve Hot.
- NOTE: this keeps well in the refrigerator, and I would heat it up by the bowl in the microwave.
- It got better each day-- However I am sure it will not keep forever so if you plan on keeping it more than a week I advise you freeze it.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and leeks.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beer. A light beer will give your soup a milder flavor, while a dark beer will give it a more robust flavor. You can also use a combination of different beers to create a unique flavor profile.
- Use good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a sharp cheddar cheese that is well-aged.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them just until they are starting to soften.
- Serve the soup immediately. This is when it will be at its best flavor. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.
Conclusion:
Vegetable beer cheddar soup is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
