Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Tablespoon oil
1 large onion, diced
1 Tablespoon garlic, minced
1 quart chicken stock or base
12 ounces Grand Teton Deep Powder Ale (or another pale/golden ale)
1 3/4 quart heavy cream
2 large Idaho russet potatoes, peeled and diced
2 cups asiago cheese
2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Sweat onions and garlic in oil in a large pot until the onion becomes tender. Add chicken stock, beer, heavy cream and potatoes. Boil and reduce heat to simmer for approximately 40 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to avoid scalding. Once potatoes are tender, remove pot from heat and fold in cheeses. Puree in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth (you may use a sieve or strainer if a more elegant and smooth presentation is desired). Finish by adding lemon juice, chili powder and salt and pepper to taste. Serves 6 to 8 people. Serving suggestion: Top with diced chives, green onions or bacon and shredded cheese. Pair with a fresh local brew poured into a frosted glass to drink while making or eating the soup!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients, especially the beer and cheese, to ensure the best flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beer and cheese. There are many options available, so you can find a combination that you love.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-shredded cheese and frozen or canned potatoes. However, using fresh ingredients will give you the best flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the soup. It should be hot and bubbly, but the potatoes should still be slightly firm.
  • Serve the soup immediately, topped with your favorite garnishes. Some popular options include bacon, green onions, and shredded cheese.
