[misslissa]

Serves 6

1/4 pound of smoked bacon, finely chopped
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup finely sliced celery
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups of whole milk
2 cups of chicken stock
12 ounces grated white cheddar, Canadian Black Diamond
3 dashes of Tabasco
1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire
1/2 cup of Moosehead Canadian Ale, room temperature
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives

1. Cook the bacon in a large heavy bottom, non-reactive soup pot over a medium heat until wilted but not browned.
2. Add onion, celery and carrots and cook until onions are translucent and bacon has crisped.
3. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Stir in milk and stock, a little at a time, to ensure that there are no lumps. Bring the liquid to the boil, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and whisk in the cheese, Tabasco, Worcestershire, and ale. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

Thanks Misslissa for the recipe. I couldn't get ADRs for Le Cellier but have heard so much about the soup. I may have to try it at home myself!

I made it soon after our last trip and it was really good. Very rich! Make sure you serve it with bread for dipping.

When I made mine, I got some Superpretzels and baked them and ate them with the soup. It was almost like being there at Le Cellier, eating the pretzel bread and cheddar cheese soup!

What kind of cheese is this? Can I get it at a regular grocery store?

 

[westcliffemom]

I didn't have white cheddar, I used sharp cheddar and it turned out pretty good!

I find it at a specialy foods store I shop at. If you are near a Fresh Market, Wegmans, or Whole Foods, they will have it. (The brand isnt' all that important)

Canadian Black Diamond is the generic (cheap, everyone eats it) brand in Canada.

I think if you used any white cheddar it would be fine. I think white cheddar is generally easy to find.

Good luck!

I am thinking of making it tonight...guess I will go questing for white cheddar! My other question is: can you taste the ale? Does it just cook away, or is there actually an "alcohol" taste to it? I already have pretzel dough rising in my bread machine. Not pretzel bread, but as close as I can get...now I just have to find some white cheddar and I will be set!

 

[rcyannacci]

The trick with making pretzel bread (at least the recipe I used), is boiling it first in a mixture of water and baking soda. Then, bake it in the oven with the salt. I think that's what gives it that great pretzelly crust.

Oh my that sounds YUMMY!

It is making me so sad that we can not get into LeCellier either!

I am calling a couple times a day looking for cancelations but so far no luck!

I guess I will resort to making this soup myself! Thanks for the recipe!

 

[Stitch1404]

Yeah, I LOVE making homeade pretzels, and I always dip them in the boiling baking soda water and then brush them with a beaten egg. It does give them the great brown crust. Now if only I can master the soup recipe!

 

[Stitch1404]

Just thought of another question. Has anyone used this recipe before? Did it really serve 6? How big is a serving according to this recipe?

 

[ReneeA]

The recipe makes a very , very big pot and will serve more than 6 in my opinion. My family of 4 (with 2 small children, granted) ate it for most of one week.

 

[BabyMo]

I've heard that they sometimes have the soup for sale outside of the restaurant- would it be available this early or is it more of a winter thing like Christmas through February?

 

[boosmom96]

misslissa Thanks so much for posting the recipe!! We just got back from WDW and ate dinner at Le Cellier on Thursday. The soup was out-of-this-world!! I really want to make it for Thanksgiving.

 

[rcyannacci]

Again, it's a very rich recipe. We got more than 6 servings out of it also.

 

[Harmony]

I think I'm the only person in the world who wasn't impressed with the soup. LOL

Thanks for the recipe anyway. My DH did enjoy it so I'll have to make it for him!

 

[Stitch1404]

Well, I just made and ate the soup as well as my pretzel bread that I made and it was wonderful! Granted I have never eaten at Le Cellier and have nothing to compare it to, but I thought it was great. Thanks for posting the recipe, I never would have thought of making it otherwise.
