Cheddar Horseradish Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Sweat 2 each diced carrots and leeks in butter. Add cayenne, salt, 3 tablespoons flour and 2 tablespoons dry mustard; cook 2 minutes. Add 1 bottle beer, 1/4 cup horseradish, 3 cups water and a dash of Worcestershire; simmer until thick. Whisk in 2 cups half-and-half and 1 1/2 cups cheddar.

Steps:

• 1. Mix both of the cheeses, the onion, horseradish, 1 of the tablespoon parsley, Worcestershire, salt to taste and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until evenly combined. Form the cheese mixture into a ball, cover with plastic wrap and chill until firm and the flavors have blended, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• 2. Remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator up to 30 minutes before serving. Cook the bacon in skillet until crisp, transfer to a paper towel, and when cool crumble. Mix the bacon with the nuts and remaining tablespoon parsley in a shallow bowl. Roll the cheese ball in the mixture so that it is coated evenly. Serve with vegetables and crackers.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in flour, and cook, stirring, until it bubbles. Gradually add 1/2 cup stock, about 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly to incorporate each addition completely. Slowly add remaining 1 1/2 cups stock and the water, still stirring. Add mushrooms and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and simmer until mushrooms are soft, about 20 minutes.
• Add carrots, return soup to a simmer, and then remove from heat. Stir in half the cheese until it melts into the liquid, and then stir in remaining cheese. Serve at once.

Steps:

• Saute onions in the oil for 5 minutes or until onions begin to soften.
• Stir in the potatoes, carrots, squash, black pepper, and turmeric.
• Add the stock and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
• Stir in the buttermilk (or milk) and the cheese.
• Puree the soup in a blender or food processor.
• Gently reheat.
• Add salt to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer until light and airy. Mix Cheddar cheese, horseradish, and mustard into cream cheese until fully incorporated. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.

Steps:

• In a heavy stockpot over medium-high heat, heat olive oil for 60 seconds. Add onions and sauté 5 minutes or until onions are soft, then add garlic. Cook 5 minutes more, then add flour and cook, stirring often, for an additional 5 minutes.
• Add stock slowly and stir to make sure all flour is dissolved. Add roasted peppers and beer and bring soup to a boil. Lower heat and simmer soup for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Take off heat, slowly stir in grated cheese and add horseradish, then use an immersion blender to make a smooth soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
• Optional Additions: Some find that a dash or so of cayenne stirred in at the end is all they need, but you could alternatively add 2 tsps. each (or amounts desired) of dry mustard and Worcestershire when you add the horseradish. For a richer soup, stir in about 1/2 cup heavy cream just after blending the soup in Step 3. Then heat gently on LOW, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes before final seasoning off the heat. Many nonvegetarians garnish the finished soup with some cooked, crumbled bacon.
