That's a fact. But don't underestimate the fine skill it takes to say "yes dear" 3, 462 times per night while soda bottles are coming at your head (I SAID BEN AND JERRY'S, YOU YUTZ)
I'll have to dig out the recipe. I've never made it, but I love buying it during the FWF at Epcot. Yummy!
Oh please, don't dig it up, allow me!
Fry a pound of apple bacon. Chop it before you cook it
Add ten tablespoons of butter
Cook down 1 length of leeks, two medium red onions, and three stalks celery (all finely chopped). Don't let them start to caramelize
Add 1 ½ cups of flour, cook it about two minutes, DON'T let it brown or the soup will get "nutty."
Add 1 quart chicken stock. Stirring, cook about three minutes.
Add 5 cups warm milk. On high heat and stirring like a madman, thicken it (but not too thick or it tastes starchy)
Add 1 pound grated, white sharp cheddar (I use Vermont)
Seasons with salt, pepper, and a splash of tabasco and Worcestershire
Add about half a can of Canadian beer (they say Molsen, I say Lebatt Blue)
When reheating, DON'T boil!
Makes one gallon.
