Broccoli Beer Cheese Soup
Are you one of those people that orders a bowl of soup every time you go out
to dinner? "I'am". I love just a warm and comforting bowl of soup. When there is a
little chill in the air make yourself some soup. It's so good for the soul. Serve with -
croutons or crusty bread and a nice bottle of pumpkin beer.
Broccoli Beer Cheese Soup
5 celery ribs, finely chopped
3 medium carrots, finely chopped
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons of butter
2 boxes chicken broth
4 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped
1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper
salt and pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
3 cups ( 12 ounces ) cheddar cheese, shredded
1 ( 8 ounce ) package cream cheese, cubed. room temp
1 bottle of a light color beer
1) In a large pot on the stovetop, Saute celery, carrots and onion in butter until
almost tender, add the broth, broccoli, red pepper, salt and pepper. Combine
flour and water until smooth, stir into the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat
simmer uncovered, for 30 - 40 minutes or until tender.
2) Stir in cheeses and beer. Cook until heated through and cheese is melted.
Stirring occasionally ( do not boil ) Serve desired amount.
3) Add any topping that you may like. Extra cheddar, green onions, sour cream,
croutons and crumbled bacon.
" Note this soup is not extra thick. You could use velveeta cheese instead
of the cheddar. "I like the cheddar" Make sure to mix the flour and water together
before putting into the soup!!!

Oh, I'll bet that's yummy! I'd have to use vegetable broth, of course. I'm a soup person too, especially now that it's starting to feel wintery around here :)

ReplyDeleteWe love broccoli cheese soup, and this is an interesting new version (for us) that I'm definitely trying soon! We try to have soup every Monday, but we're not great soup fans, so it's a challenge to find a new one I know will work. This should be a sure hit.
