Cheddar Cheese Soup Recipe - original recipe came from the recipe thread on DISboards.
Cheddar Cheese Soup
¼ lb smoked bacon, finely chopped
1 medium red onion, cut into ¼ inch pieces (I dice smaller)
½ cup finely chopped celery
½ cup finely chopped carrots
3 tbs. all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk (I use ½ 2% and ½ heavy cream)
2 cups chicken stock
12oz. grated white cheddar cheese
3 dashes Tabasco
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ cup Moosehead Canadian Ale, room temperature (I just use ale I can find)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbs. finely sliced chives (I usually omit)
I find it easiest to finely chop the bacon by freezing it first.
Cook the bacon in a large heavy bottomed, non reactive soup pot over medium heat until wilted not browned. (I try to lightly brown, I cant get it to brown like the recipe indicates.) Add onions, celery and carrots; cook until translucent and bacon has crisped. Sprinkle in flour and stir consistently for 2 minutes. Stir in milk and stock a little at a time, blending well to ensure no lumps. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and whisk in cheese, Tabasco, Worcestershire and ale. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve with your favorite bread and top with chopped chives.
It is actually very easy.
Kat, did you get my message of FB about dinner Tuesday night?

Thanks for sharing, I am going to try this very soon
Cool Whip with meat pie? I don't think so!
Thanks for the reminder. I ALWAYS forget the hold mail thing 'til the last minute.
Just thought I would pop in and say goodnight to everyone before the boards go down.
Very quiet evening here, I am working on my cruise photos, figure I should try to get through those before DAP and I bring home another thousand or so LOL..
Hopefully we will be able to all chat in the morning. Good Luck with the upgrades Alex!
Night Kelly - I made my shirts tonight and now I am watching Guy's Disney Celebration on Food Network.
Enjoy!
I did not add but it makes enough to serve a family of four as the main entree. The other thing we have found is that it does not reheat well. It tends to separate. But oh is it yummy!
Pictures???

This recipe would be a problem for me. We are a "family of two", and I am the only one who would appreciate cheese soup. (He would rather have his Molson straight, preferable in New Brunswick, Canada!)
The solution - I need to have lunch at Le Cellier! I am sure someone will join me there next December.
This post is worthless without pictures! C'mon woman! Let's see some pics!
You make me spill my guts -
we can't find a single cable for a camera to download pictures so my only option is my phone. I have been trying to post FB pictures all day - no service in the house today.
