KatDanger: Needs more cheese. This is more like beer and potato soup with some cheese mix in at the end.
Cornballin_POS: What’s the point of adding olive oil before cooking bacon?
WalletPhoneKeysPump: i’m seeing more and more recipes on here include cheese, bacon and chives.
not a bad thing, but looks to be following a trend.
speedylee: **[Cheddar and Beer Soup](https://www.tastemade.com/videos/cheddar-and-beer-soup)** by Tastemade
*SERVINGS: 6 to 8*
**INGREDIENTS**
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 6 slices streaky bacon, cut in 1/3-inch strips
* 1 onion, diced
* 1 leek, white parts only, diced and rinsed well
* 1 stalk celery, diced
* 4 cloves garlic, diced
* 1 (12-ounce) white beer, such as Hoegaarden
* 4 cups chicken broth
* 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 8 ounces grated white Irish cheddar cheese, some reserved for garnish
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 4 small boule bowls, centers cut out like a bowl, and toasted
* Chives, thinly sliced, for garnish
**INSTRUCTIONS**
1. Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until fat is rendered and bacon is crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and reserve. Add the onion, leek, celery and garlic and saute until tender.
2. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the beer, chicken broth and potatoes. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer, while stirring on occasion, until potatoes are tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Once potatoes are tender, turn off heat, and blend until smooth using an immersion blender (or in batches in a blender). Turn heat back to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Once slightly simmering, stir in the cheese by the handful to melt. Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
4. Serve in bread bowls garnished with bacon, chives and shredded cheese.
BoomToll: Can we just cut out the middle man and drink bacon flavored beer?
ihugfaces: Can someone explain the difference between white cheddar and “Irish Cheddar”?
Looks damn good
InactiveBeef: Does anybody know what brand of dutch oven they’re using?
RobOneXL: needs more bacon. Hitting it at the end wouldnt be nearly enough for me.
inibrius: …the fuck is white beer?
NicoleMary27: this should be made on a grill w/ cherry or some other smoky wood under to make it supa hot fire
ForFourDecades: Can someone enlighten this guy as to what heavy cream is and where I find it when shopping? Is sour cream the same thing? Thank you.
Goldscalz: This looks delish. Sub cauliflower for potato, no bread bowl and perfect for r/keto
kittenonkrak: I can feel my arteries clogging and I love it.
ZergStrain: Anybody else on the reddit mobile unable to save the .gif? Or is that normal?
TheMightyMike: Just careful using an immersion blender with potatoes – you might end up with glue.
Remy1985: If I were to learn how to cook all over again, I would start with soups. They’re a perfect primer to understanding how to season as well as a great tutorial of adjusting to taste and consistency (e.g. more cream, less stock, add cheese).
bluepillcarl: Mealthy
noikeee: I know nobody said this was supposed to be healthy, but at this stage with all the cheese, heavy cream, bacon, massive bread bowl, if you’re minding your calories you’d be better off eating pizza than “soup”.
Looks tasty though. Never seen a soup with beer before.
theBlackCatharsis: I just don’t understand the appeal of smoothie soups. What if your really hungry? Mine well pour this into the plastic cereal bowls with the straws in it.
H_Donna_Gust: The white bottom of that pan will never be white again.
atxbuttstuff: Do these people not know how to turn down their burner?
These video constantly have a burnt spot on the pan.
Leftstranded: I opened specifically to say this. Not enough cheese.
ArmyVetRN: Make sure your beer is flat and room temp. Don’t cook with carbonated and cold beer.
NeanerBeaner: Or just buy canned soup, more beer with the money you save from not buying all the ingredients, and have a much better time
darragh107: r/wewantplates
DukeOfBaggery: Holy shit someone actually put a *reasonable* amount of cheese in a gifrecipe?!!!1!
