BEER & CHEESE SOUP

     BEER-CHS-SOUP - an easy quick tummy-warming soup

     One of my favorite cold-weather soups, this recipe came from
     a friend of a friend of a friend.  The listed vegetables are
     really just suggestions.  Use whatever suits your fancy, or
     is in the refrigerator.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 6)
     1 cup     diced onions
     1 cup     diced celery
     1 cup     diced carrots
     1 cup     diced mushrooms
     3/4 cup   butter
     1/2 cup   flour
     1 tsp     dry mustard
     5 cups    chicken or vegetable stock
     1 bunch   broccoli
     11 oz     beer (use a can or bottle and save a swallow for
               the cook!)
     6 oz      cheddar cheese, grated
     2 Tbsp    grated parmesan cheese
               salt
               pepper

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Saut' the diced vegetables in butter.

          (2)  Mix flour and mustard into saut'd vegetables.  Add
               the chicken or vegetable stock to mixture and cook
               for five minutes.

          (3)  Break broccoli into small flowerets; cut stems
               into bite-sizes pieces.  Steam until tender-crisp.

          (4)  Add beer and cheeses to the soup.  Simmer 10-15
               minutes.  Check seasonings.

          (5)  To serve, place some broccoli into a soup bowl and
               ladle the soup over it.

NOTES
     Because of the cheese, this soup doesn't survive a night in
     the refrigerator very well.

RATING
     Difficulty: Easy.  Time: 30 minutes.  Precision: Approximate
     measurement OK.
