Cheddar Beer Soup
This classic pub food of Great Britain is at its best when using an old cheddar cheese. The light version uses a low-fat cheddar.
Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the vegetables: Thoroughly clean the leeks, discard the dark-green parts, then cut the remainder into 1 cm cubes. Cut the carrots and celery into 1 cm cubes. Mince the garlic.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat then add the vegetables, garlic, and bay leaf. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Reduce the heat then add the flour. Cook 3 minutes, with frequent stirring.
- Pour in the milk, broth, and beer. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes. Add the Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Remove the bay leaf.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat, then add the cheese, with stirring, until it is thoroughly blended into the soup. Serve into bowls.
