Monikas Beer Cheese Soup Recipes

BEST-EVER BEER CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until well incorporated, about 5 minutes more.
• Add the chicken stock, beer and half-and-half and cook, whisking often, at a very slow simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
• Add the cheddar to the soup by the handful, whisking each batch until smooth. Add the Worcestershire, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the nutmeg, mustard and lemon juice, and stir to combine.
• Puree the soup in batches in a blender (holding a thick towel over the lid to prevent overflow) until very smooth.
• Just before serving, reheat the soup until steaming and taste for seasoning, adding salt as necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each bowl with a swirl of mustard oil, a dollop of goat cheese and a sprinkle of thyme.

MONIKA'S BEER CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, saute the onions with the butter (don't brown). Then, add the garlic and worcestershire.
• Add 12 oz of beer and bring it to a gentle boil. The liquor will evaporate, but the taste will stay; making it kid friendly.
• Add 14 oz of the chicken broth of your choice, 2 cups of milk, and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. First, dilute the broth with a bit of water to form a paste and gently stir in the rest of the ingredients. When it starts to thicken, turn the heat down and while still stirring add 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese until it completely melts in. Be careful not to burn the bottom and constantly stir on a simmer. Garnish with a sprig of parsley and enjoy.
