German Cheese And Beer Soup Recipes

GERMAN BEER CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble; set aside.
• To the bacon fat, add the onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook over moderate heat, occasionally stirring until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and mix well. Cook, frequently stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until the flour turns golden brown.
• Add milk, broth, and beer in a stream, whisking, then simmer, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes or until foam subsides. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Add cheese by handfuls, stirring constantly, but gently, and cook until cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes (do not boil). Stir in half of the crumbled bacon.
• Ladle soup into bowls and top with remaining bacon. Garnish with French fried onions and sliced green onion, if desired. Serve with your favorite beer!
