Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Make the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed onions and garlic. Stir constantly for about 2 minutes to cook the flour, forming a roux.

  3. 3

    Add Beer and Broth

    Slowly whisk in the Lighthouse Blonde Ale, ensuring there are no lumps. Then, add the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cheese and Cream

    Once the soup is simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded smoked gouda cheese until melted. Add the heavy cream and mix well.

  5. 5

    Season the Soup

    Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve and Garnish

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot.
