Someone on the Loadingreadyrun Twitch Chat asked for this. Sorry I forgot your name.

Beer-Cheese Soup

Ingredients
1/2 to 1 lb. Bacon cut about 1/4 in.
1 medium Red Onion (or any other kind of onion, really)
3 Celery Ribs chopped
1-2 cups Carrots chopped (depending on how much you like carrots)
5 tbsp. Butter
1 cup Flour
28 oz. Chicken Stock
4 cups Whole Milk
1 cup Grated Sharp White Chedder (extra sharp if possible)
2 tbsp. Tabasco or similar Hot Sauce
2 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
3/4 cup Dark Warm Beer
salt & pepper to taste

Directions
1. Cook bacon in dutch oven or non-stick pot until crisp. Remove cooked bacon, set aside. Leave grease in pot. Add butter.
2. Add onion, celery, and carrots to pot. Saute until onion is soft.
3. Add flour, cook about 5 minutes, stirring often.
4. Stir in chicken stock, bring to boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. Add milk and bring to simmer for an additional 15 minutes. DO NOT BOIL.
6. Remove from heat, add cheese, tobasco, worcestershire, salt, pepper. Stir until melted. Stir in beer and bacon.

Optional -- a dash of Liquid Smoke.

The soup will rapidly thicken at step 4, but this is normal. Don't panic.

I think it needs more bacon and cheese. (because you can't have too much of either)

Otherwise, I'm going to make this and enjoy it with a loaf of crusty bread.

Yeah, this is just the basic recipe. I tend to add more bacon and cheese to mine as well. Figured this would be a good jumping-off point, and those who read this can tinker once they're comfortable with it.

Have fun with it and I hope you like it!
