Beer Cheese Soup in a Bread Bowl with Kielbasa

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 ounces kielbasa, cut into 1/2-inch dice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 carrots, finely diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
1 small onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
Pinch cayenne pepper
4 small round boules (about 7 inches each)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups chicken stock, warmed
1 bottle pale ale, pilsner or lager
3 cups sharp yellow Cheddar, shredded
5 ounces Gruyere, shredded
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and cook until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, mustard powder and cayenne. Cook the vegetables until tender and translucent, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the bread bowls. Using a sharp knife, slice the top off of each boule to use as a topper. Hollow out the middle with a fork or your fingers, leaving a thick bread shell. Save the removed bread for another use.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire. Pour in the stock and beer and simmer until the alcohol cooks out, about 5 minutes.
  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Add the Cheddar and Gruyere and stir until the cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into the bread bowls and serve immediately, topped with the kielbasa croutons and chives. Use the bread toppers for dipping, if desired.

DENNY'S BEER CHEESE SOUP



Denny's Beer Cheese Soup image

A rather strong and cheesy soup, with no "chewy" bits to get in the way! Use more cheese to make the soup thicker and add more cheesy flavor. The beef bullion cube makes the soup taste richer, and a little saltier. Add a bit of your favorite hot sauce (Tabasco with Garlic, mmmm!) to give it a little extra kick. This is good stuff when served with toasted bread (especially Pumpernickel) like Welsh rarebit. Also makes a good side dish or appetizer. If you want something more filling, throw in some chopped, pre-cooked veggies, pre-cooked meat (beef sausage or kielbasa is quite good!), or other filler before you boil the soup. Just don't add any raw meat or uncooked foods, as the short cooking time will not be enough to cook the meat.

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can campbell's condensed cheddar cheese soup
4 -8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded
Worcestershire sauce
garlic powder
basil
chives
hot sauce (optional)
1 beef bouillon cube (3.7g or so) (optional)

Steps:

  • In a fair-size pot, combine the beer and the can of soup.
  • Add the cubed or shredded cheese to the beer/soup mixture.
  • Add all of the other ingredients to taste.

  • By the time it boils, your cheese should be almost completely melted and mixed in with the soup.

  • Simmer for at least 5-10 minutes, longer if you prefer thicker soup.

Provided by catlover20

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes

Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 strips bacon
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 cup peeled, chopped parsnip
2 tablespoons minced garlic
½ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock
2 cups amber beer
2 bay leaves
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble.
  • Melt butter in large saucepan over low heat. Stir in onions, celery, and parsnips. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir constantly until flour dissolves, 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Slowly stir chicken stock and ale into onion mixture. Add bay leaves and cayenne pepper. Increase heat to medium or medium-high to slowly bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low when mixture starts to bubble; simmer uncovered until soup reaches a smooth consistency, about 1 hour.
  • Stir heavy cream into soup; add Cheddar cheese. Continue cooking over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until cheese has melted and soup is heated through, 3 or 4 minutes. Do not bring to a boil. Sprinkle bacon crumbles on soup.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beer: The type of beer you use will greatly affect the flavor of your soup. For a classic beer cheese soup, use a light or amber beer. If you want a more flavorful soup, try using a dark beer or a stout. Pilsner-style beers are also often suggested for this soup.
  • Use high-quality cheese: The cheese is the other key ingredient in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese is a classic choice, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Gruyère, Swiss, or Gouda.
  • Don't overcook the soup: Beer cheese soup is best when it is simmered gently. Overcooking the soup will make the cheese tough and rubbery.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Beer cheese soup is delicious on its own, but it's also great with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include croutons, bacon, green onions, and pretzels.

Conclusion:

Beer cheese soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beer. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious bowl of beer cheese soup that will warm you up from the inside out.
