- 15
- Serves:
-
8-10
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups onions (chopped)
- 2 cups carrots (chopped)
- 1 1⁄2 cups celery (chopped)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 8 cups chicken stock or 8 cups vegetable stock
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 24 ounces beer (preferably dark)
- cornstarch, as needed (about 1/3 cup)
- 5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups monterey jack cheese, grated
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- salt & pepper
directions
- Melt butter in a saucepan and combine onions, carrots, celery & garlic over medium heat and saute until vegetables are soft (about ten minutes).
- Adjust heat to high and incorporate beer. Cook on high for three to four minutes to allow for the alcohol to evaporate away.
- Heat stock in separate pot and mix cornstarch to form slurry and then add that to simmering liquid.
- Simmer 45 minutes.
- Lower heat and add cream and all of the cheeses (at this step temperature is very important - too hot and the soup will separate, too low and the cheese will not melt).
- Finally add remaining ingredients and adjust for taste and consistency.
- *Tip: If soup is to thin add more cornstarch, if soup is to think add more stock.
