Preparation

Step 1

For soup: Heat the canola oil in a heavy-bottomed 6-quart soup pot over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onions, carrots, celery and diced potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are wilted and transparent, about 8 minutes.

Add the jalapeños, mustard, beer and chicken stock. Stir to blend well, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft and have started to break apart. Purée the soup in batches in a high-speed blender until completely smooth. Return soup to a clean pot and stir in the cheese. Cook, stirring, just until the cheese has melted. Season to taste with salt. Do not allow the soup to boil once the cheese has been added. Stir in the whipping cream and cook just to heat the cream through. Set aside and keep warm while making the croutons.
