Ploughman's Soup image

An old English recipe. Please take your time caramelizing the onions - it's well worth the time & effort. Cheshire cheese is one of the oldest recorded cheeses in British history. It is dense and semi-hard, and is defined by its moist, crumbly texture and mild, salty taste. Industrial versions tend to be drier and less crumbly, more like a mild Cheddar cheese, as this makes them easier to process than cheese with the traditional texture.

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter
2 medium onions, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup light ale (do not substitute beer)
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups crumbled cheshire cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
vidalia onion rings (for garnish) or 1 slice scallion (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large, heavy pan. Gently saute the onion until golden. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, then gradually whisk in the stock and ale. Return to the heat and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the cheese. Stir in the remaining cheese, a bit at a time (keeping the heat low), until the cheese is all melted. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish each bowl with the reserved cheese and the onions.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of salt next time.

Not bad, but not great either. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a different type of cheese.

This soup was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

Easy to make and delicious. I used sharp cheddar cheese and a hearty bread, and it was perfect. Will definitely make again!

This soup was a delight! The flavors of the cheese, bread, and vegetables blended perfectly. I added a bit of extra garlic and thyme, and it turned out amazing. My family loved it, and I'll definitely be making it again.
