Method

Preparing the Soup

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Create the Roux

    Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables. Stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes to cook the flour, ensuring it doesn't brown.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids

    Slowly whisk in the chicken or vegetable broth and beer, making sure to eliminate any lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cream

    Once the soup is simmering, stir in the heavy cream, mustard, salt, and black pepper. Allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Adding Cheese

  1. 5

    Melt the Cheese

    Gradually add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese to the soup, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.

  2. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.

Serving

  1. 7

    Prepare Bread Bowls

    Cut the tops off the bread bowls and scoop out some of the insides to create space for the soup.

  2. 8

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the beer cheese soup into the prepared bread bowls. Top with sliced green onions and croutons for garnish.
