Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter
1 to 1 1/2 large carrots, diced (about 3/4 cup)
3/4 cup small-diced piquillo peppers, or 1/2 large red bell pepper, diced
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock, low-sodium store-bought or homemade
One 12-ounce bottle beer, preferably a mild-flavored blond or pale ale
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
12 ounces aged yellow cheddar (aged at least 2 years), grated
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Mustard oil or extra-virgin olive oil, for garnish
Fresh goat cheese, for garnish
Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish

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.

CHEESY BEER BRAT SOUP



Cheesy Beer Brat Soup image

A cheesy, Wisconsin winter soup utilizing local beer. As with any recipe there are hundreds or thousands of variations on this basic recipe. We set this cheese/beer/brat soup apart from others with a couple primary distinctions. Being a beer nerd, when I add beer to a recipe I consider the style of beer seriously. To me beer is not just whatever you happen to have in the cooler/fridge etc. Here we've slected a locally available pale ale from Ale Asylum in Madison, WI. It lends some great color to the soup and the prominent hop presence in this ale adds a great flavor without being overwhelming. To replicate this recipe without Ale Asylum's Hopalicious you can substitute any quality pale ale or IPA. Ask your local specialty retailer for tips or look for anything with "pale ale" or "IPA" on the bottle. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is probably the most widely available and is a suitable substitute. If you've any other questions, feel free to ask! Secondly, the brats. Brats should be cooked ahead of time in 12 ounces of the same beer that is being used in the soup. We typically cook our brats in a pan with beer and most of a whole onion until they're just cooked through then I throw them on my Big Green Egg and, using only natural lump charcoal WITHOUT lighter fluid, brown them gently. Then slice and quarter as per the recipe. Fianlly, I can't recommend enough that fresh ingredients be used whenever possible, especially the fresh-pressed garlic and fresh ground black peppers. Cheers!

1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
3 bratwursts, cooked and sliced

  • Turn the heat back on to low.
  • Stir in the bratwurst and allow it to warm through.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your soup a richer flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.
  • Don't boil the beer. Boiling the beer will drive off the alcohol and flavor. Instead, add the beer to the soup at the end of the cooking process.
  • Use a good quality bratwurst. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a bratwurst that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the soup pot. If you overcrowd the pot, the soup will not cook evenly. Cook the soup in batches if necessary.
  • Serve the soup with a variety of toppings. This will allow your guests to customize their soup to their own liking. Some popular toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and croutons.

Conclusion:

Cheesy beer brat soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give cheesy beer brat soup a try.
