This is a favorite of mine from a restaurant in Dallas named Baby Doe's Matchless Mine. It's an AWESOME tasting Beer-Cheese soup!
2 quarts milk
1 1/2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce (mo' hotter=mo' better!)
1/2 tablespoon salt
6 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
12 fluid ounces dark beer (see comments)
1 (16 ounce) jar CheeseWhiz
In a large pot over medium heat, combine the milk, bouillon, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce and salt. Bring close to a boil.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add to the soup, stirring well. Add the beer and the cheese sauce, reduce heat to low and mix well. Allow to heat through before serving. Garnish with parsely sprig.
ADVICE: Sierra Nevada Porter or Pale Ale are the best I've found for this recipe, please experiment and let me know your fav. Also, I've backed off on the Worchestershire sauce down to just over a teaspoon. The CheeseWhiz already has anchovies in it and too much W' sauce gets the final product pretty fishy.
CAUTION: This concoction has a VERY HIGH SODIUM CONTENT! It is intended to be enjoyed as an appetizer in a CUP, not a BOWL... ...eating a full bowl makes you finish the rest of the beer off very quickly! Enjoy.
