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 can’t 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.

Here's a video podcast of the recipe.

Kat, did you get my message of FB about dinner Tuesday night?

 

[katscradle]

Ok here's an update from yesterday!
We stayed at our room for the afternoon and just relaxed.
Then we headed over to the Contempo Cafe for dinner.
Wow, was that place busy!
Anyway we order our food..
Grab your drinks, salads, desserts or whatever..
I find out you pay for it and they give you a pager for when your food is ready.
So here we have our drinks and desserts and are looking for a table....
People are sitting at tables with nothing and there are no tables available.
John is getting irked!!
So I see a woman stand up, I walk up and ask if she is leaving...
She says yes and we can have her table.
At this point I am all but sitting in a chair, the chair is pulled out and I am standing in front of it.
Then this man appears from out of who knows where and says this is his table and he has been waiting.
I say no these people were nice enough to give me their table.
At this point I was thinking of leaving!!!
He says it was not their table to give me!
Well now I am about to lose it, and see a picture of Jen in my mind and it is like I am rooted to the spot.
John steps in at this point and says to the man we are not leaving, and sits down.
The man looks at us and says you can't be serious!!
John looks at him and says yes we are and bye!
I did have a little giggle about this!

Now my question you who are following the thread.....
Were we wrong, would you have done the same thing?

 

[katscradle]

sure

Thank you!

We are getting some snow here in central Maine now. Very pretty, so far.

I hope everyone has good health for traveling and partying!

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!

Cool Whip with meat pie? I don't think so!

I thought everything went better with Cool Whip?

Thanks for the reminder. I ALWAYS forget the hold mail thing 'til the last minute.

No Problem Kathy, that is why I posted it to be a reminder to everyone..

 

[Renysmom]

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!

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.

I can only do with my phone and I have not had service in the house all day.

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.
