Creamy Beer Cheese Soup Recipe

My beer cheese soup recipe is to-die-for. It is rich and creamy with that beautiful hoppy flavor that hails from the beer and says "home."

INGREDIENTS

– half and half – sharp white cheddar cheese – pepper jack cheese – bacon – onion (yellow or white) – carrot

STEP 1

In a large soup pot or dutch oven fry the bacon pieces on medium-high heat until cooked. Remove the pan from heat, scoop out the bacon pieces.

Place a couple of paper towels on a plate to drain. Set the bacon aside for later and return the pot with the bacon grease in it to the heat. Add the onions to the bacon grease and sauté.

STEP 2

After a few minutes when they start to become translucent add in the minced bell pepper and minced carrot. Let the veggies cook until soft and begin to have some color.

STEP 3

Add in the garlic, cook for a few minutes stirring as needed. Add in the butter, thyme sprigs, mustard powder, ground pepper, salt, and hot sauce.

STEP 4

Let the butter melt completely then add in the flour and mix around. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock and beer, mix to combine. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
