I've said it before and I'll say it again: Beer + Cheese is the best combination. The addition of broccoli just adds a little bit of nutritional help. Don't forget to top with bacon and more cheese and a sprinkle of green onions.
Broccoli Beer Cheese Soup
makes 4 bowls
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
2 celery ribs finely chopped
2 carrots finely chopped
1/2 small onion finely chopped
2 cups broccoli florets fresh & chopped
28oz chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup water
2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
4oz cream cheese cubed
half to full can of beer
Instructions:
In a large pot, melt your butter over medium high heat. Add your first few veggies: celery, carrots, onion. Sauté over medium high until tender and aromatic. Add in your broccoli and stir in broth and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together your water and flour until the flour is evenly distributed. Slowly stir into pot.
Bring your soup to a boil and then reduce to a simmer (medium-low heat). Simmer uncovered until the veggies are tender and the soup has thickened. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
Finally, stir in your cheddar and cream cheeses along with beer. Stir until the cheese is melted, but don't increase heat or bring to a boil. Taste test to see if you need to add more beer, or salt & pepper.
Dish into bowls and serve with crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, green onions, or whatever you'd like!
