Slow Cooker Beer Cheese Soup

By bubbles7380

Ingredients

• 1 (12 oz.) bottle beer (we use ale or lager)
• 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 cup white onion, finely chopped
• 3/4 cup carrot, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• paprika, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Combine onion, carrots and celery in your slow cooker, and pour in beer and chicken broth.
Season with Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Turn slow cooker on HIGH and cook for 2 1/2-3 hours, or until vegetables have softened.
Stir in heavy cream and cheddar cheese and cook for another 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Note: if you’d like a thicker soup, whisk cornstarch in and cook for another 10 minutes.
Ladle soup into serving bowls (or blend first and then serve), then garnish with paprika and serve hot.
