BEER & BRAT CHEDDAR SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, melt butter and sauté onions, carrots, mushrooms, and bratwurst pieces until the sausage is cooked.
• Add the beer and simmer for about 5 minutes. The beer will foam up but don't worry it will go away.
• Take the pot off the heat, add the flour, and stir. This is your roux and it will make a paste mixture.
• Put pot back on the low heat and add the broth and water. I add broth ½ cup at a time so the flour paste is incorporated in the liquid. Keep adding broth and water until you are out.
• Let the soup simmer for about 2 hours on low heat. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing is burning on the bottom.
• Add 1 cup of milk or cream and all the cheeses. Stir to melt all the cheese. Serve and enjoy
