WISCONSIN NATIVE'S BEER CHEESE SOUP

Wisconsin Native's Beer Cheese Soup image

As a Wisconsin native, I'm accustomed to a fantastic beer cheese soup. This is the recipe I've created, as a salute to my home state...America's Dairy land...and a state that brews a mighty fine beer! Serve with lots of popcorn floating on top!

Ingredients

1 ½ cups diced carrots
1 ½ cups diced onion
1 ½ cups diced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups beer
⅓ cup butter
⅓ cup flour
4 cups milk or half and half
6 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
popped popcorn, for garnish

Steps:

In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together carrots, onion, celery, and garlic. Stir in hot pepper sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth and beer; simmer until vegetables are tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, heat butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Stir in flour with a wire whisk; cook, stirring until the flour is light brown, about 3 or 4 minutes. Gradually stir in milk, whisking to prevent scorching, until thickened. Remove from heat, and gradually stir in cheese. Keep warm.
Stir beer mixture into cheese mixture. Stir in Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and dry mustard. Adjust for hot pepper sauce. Bring to a simmer, and cook 10 minutes. Serve topped with popcorn.

I made this soup for a party last weekend and it was a huge success! Everyone loved it. I used a combination of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, and I added some cooked bacon to the soup. It was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.
