Horseradish Cheddar Beer Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Wash leeks in a bowl of cold water, agitating water, then lift out leeks and drain in a colander.
• Cook leeks, carrots, celery, garlic, and bay leaf in butter in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to moderately low and sprinkle flour over vegetables, then cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add milk, broth, and beer in a stream, whisking, then simmer, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Add cheese by handfuls, stirring constantly, and cook until cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes (do not boil). Discard bay leaf.
• Serve sprinkled with bacon.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until the mixture starts to bubble, about 3 minutes. Whisk in the stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Slowly incorporate the cheese stirring until fully melted and smooth. Add the beer and cook until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Ladle into serving bowls and enjoy.

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.

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:

• Saute onion and celery until soft and transparent.
• Saute the diced carrots until tender but still a little crisp.
• Place sauteed vegetables in a large stockpot or Dutch oven; add chicken stock. Place over medium heat.
• Combine Cheddar cheese with flour; stir mixture slowly into hot broth.
• Add Tabasco, dry mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Bring to a simmer.
• Add beer; heat through and serve.
