Beer Soup

By karenstl

This is from Ricardo. I've never tried it but it looks so yummy.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups shallots, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup beer
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 cup day-old French bread, chopped and packed
• salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1 In a saucepan, soften the shallots and garlic in butter. 2 Add remaining ingredients. 3 Cover and let simmer 20 minutes. 4 Remove bay leaf. 5 Reduce the soup in puree in blender. Add salt and pepper.

Note:
Ok to use onions (sweet white). Used hamburger bun and Bud Light Wheat. Wheat beer flavor great with honey. Cooked with salt & pepper, then topped each bowl with dash of freshly cracked black pepper. Would be good for dinner party.
