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.
WI BEER CHEESE SOUP
I really love the Beer Cheese Soup from the Hilltop in Steven's Point, WI. But I never get up there anymore so I had to create my own. Trust me, I made a lot of bad beer cheese soups until I got it right. Now I want to post it here so I can remember the recipe and you all can benefit from my mistakes!

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large soup pot. Sauté celery, carrots and onions until the onions are soft.
- Add garlic to pot and sauté one minute.
- Add chicken broth and potatoes to pot. Bring to a boil and boil until the potatoes are tender.
- Turn heat down so soup is at a low simmer, Add half the beer to the pot. You can add more later after tasting, but if you add too much right off the bat it can really make the soup bitter.
- Add cream of chicken soup and stir till blended.
- Now you can add your cheeses. Add the shredded cheddar a little bit at a time and stir continuously until it is melted and smooth, do the same with the cheese spread. (I'll often toss my shredded cheese with a bit of cornstarch before melting it. This keeps it from clumping up a bit).
- Now you can add the Worcestershire, mustard, salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. This would also be the time to add some more beer if you'd like.

Steps:
- Cook carrots, onions, and celery in butter until tender.
- Stir in flour and chicken broth until thick and bubbly.

- Add cheese a little at a time.
- *When adding the flour, I like to mix it in with a wire whisk to avoid getting lumps.
- When adding the cheese, be sure to keep stirring the soup so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot, I add about 1/2 to 3/4 of the block, but you can add as much or less to fit your taste.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, use local and organic ingredients.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Beer cheese soup is all about the cheese, so don't be afraid to use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use a combination of cheeses to create a more complex flavor.
- Use a variety of beers: The type of beer you use will affect the flavor of your soup. A light beer will produce a mild-flavored soup, while a dark beer will produce a more robust flavor. You can also use a combination of beers to create a unique flavor.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in your soup should be tender, but not mushy. Overcooked vegetables will make your soup bland and watery.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce for a little extra flavor.
Conclusion:
Beer cheese soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beer. With its creamy, cheesy texture and flavorful broth, beer cheese soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
