Cheddar Cheese Soup
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter, (1/2 stick or 1/4 block)
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 cans evaporated milk, (12 fl oz / 360 ml cans)
- 1 cup beer
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded, (8 oz / 250 g)
- salt, as desired, to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, then whisk in the flour and whisk continuously until bubbly.
- Add the evaporated milk, stirring continuously, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat.
- Stir in the beer, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and cayenne. Simmer, stirring often, for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until fully melted. Taste, season with salt as desired.
- Ladle into bowls and serve with your favorite toppings, such as cooked and crumbled bacon, sliced spring onion, or croutons. Enjoy.
Notes
