GERMAN BEER CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble; set aside.
• To the bacon fat, add the onions, carrots, and garlic. Cook over moderate heat, occasionally stirring until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and mix well. Cook, frequently stirring, for 2-3 minutes or until the flour turns golden brown.
• Add milk, broth, and beer in a stream, whisking, then simmer, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes or until foam subsides. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Add cheese by handfuls, stirring constantly, but gently, and cook until cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes (do not boil). Stir in half of the crumbled bacon.
• Ladle soup into bowls and top with remaining bacon. Garnish with French fried onions and sliced green onion, if desired. Serve with your favorite beer!

BEST-EVER BEER CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the carrots, peppers and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until well incorporated, about 5 minutes more.
• Add the chicken stock, beer and half-and-half and cook, whisking often, at a very slow simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
• Add the cheddar to the soup by the handful, whisking each batch until smooth. Add the Worcestershire, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, the nutmeg, mustard and lemon juice, and stir to combine.
• Puree the soup in batches in a blender (holding a thick towel over the lid to prevent overflow) until very smooth.
• Just before serving, reheat the soup until steaming and taste for seasoning, adding salt as necessary. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each bowl with a swirl of mustard oil, a dollop of goat cheese and a sprinkle of thyme.
