Beer Cheese Soup Recipe Recipe

How to make it

---

• First off, put the bacon into a glass dish and set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake the bacon until perfect - I think mine was in for about twenty minutes.
• While the bacon is cooking, chop up the celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, and grate the cheese.
• Add some vegetable oil to a pan and toss in the onions, carrots, and celery.
• I ground a dash of black pepper over it but then I put gound pepper on everything. Cook until the onions are soft and almost translucent.
• When the vegetables are done, set them to the side to cool. the bacon's done!
• pat off some bacon grease and then chop it up into fine pieces.
• Now that the veggies are a bit cooler, we can put them in the blender.but put a cup of chicken stock in first,
• I took about 4 tablespoons of bacon fat from the pan and put it into a tall pot. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in with it and whisk in the 8 tbsp of flour. This makes it a pretty thick so start adding stock as soon as the flour, butter, and fat are smooth.
• Stir and add the stock slowly to keep it mixed well. Bring the base up to a boil over medium high heat. Time to add vegetable puree!
• Return to a boil. I like a little heat behind my beer cheese soup, so I used nearly 2 tsp of white pepper, but you can taste the pepper after 2 tsp. Gently slip in the cheese so you don't splash boiling stock all over you!
• Add potatoes
• (As a side note, sometimes I cook the potatoes separately, until they fall apart when pierced by a fork. I've found that the cooked potatoes thicken up the soup a bit more than cooking them in the stock.)
• About this time, you should cook up the sausage. Stir the soup every minute or so while the meat cooks.
• When the sausage is done, cut it up and put it on the pot.
• Turn off the heat and pour in the beer. This is going to give off an amazing beer aroma for a little bit,. Let it happen.
• Make sure you let the beer flatten in an extra large bowl
