Ingredients

1 large carrot peeled and thinly sliced

1 rib celery chopped fine

1 large onion peeled and chopped

2 C. diced potato

1 C. beer

3 T. butter

3 T. flour

2 1/2 C. milk

Reserved vegetables and their liquid

1 1/2 C. chicken stock or 1 10 1/2 oz. can chicken broth

1 1/2 C. sharp cheedar cheese, grated

worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper to taste

Optional Variation:

Add 1 1/2 C. diced cooked ham, or 1/2 pound bacon cooked, drained and chopped. ( I almost always add one of these)

If you like it a little more zesty add a little tabasco too!

Directions

Step one:

In a large saucepan, combine the veggies and the beer.

Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until tender.

Cool, then whirl mixture 2 C. at a time in a blender or food processor. Set aside.

Step Two:

In second saucepan, heat the butter and over low heat cook the flour for a few minutes.

Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is thickened and smooth.

Step Three:

To the mixture, add the pureed vegetables and beer mixture.

Add meat if desired and heat through.

Add the shredded cheese.

Remove from heat.

Stir the mixture to melt the cheese.

Season the soup with worcestershire, salt, and pepper.

I often sprinkle chopped green onions on top just before serving.

Note:

You can easily vary the veggies or the meat. I often also add mushrooms. Diced cooked chicken is also flavorful this way.

So many options, so little time!!...

Oh yeah....this sounds soooo delicious. Beer-cheese soup is one of my favorite soups ever and yours sounds delightful. All I need is some celery and a bit more cheese and I have some thick-cut bacon just begging for this. Thanks so much! Sending to the printer... :)

My friend has a chili contest every year. I sure would like to have a beer cheese soup show down instead. Maybe I'll combine everybody's recipes and bring it to the chili contest.
