?Le Cellier cheese soup

[Kata]

Does everyone really love Le Cellier's cheese soup,I am not really someone who orders cream or cheese soups but it seems so popular I feel the need to try it just to dip my pretzel bread in it.
Thanks!!!!

I love it and I am so not a cream soup gal! It is fabulous, especially if you're a cheese fan!

I haven't tried it yet but it is the main reason I booked it for dinner on our short trip next month- I can't wait!

I'm the same way about soups. Cheese soup? You gotta be kidding me. But when the three of us went there several years ago, my son got brave and ordered it. I asked for three spoons. The server brought out three individual bowls of soup for all of us! I loved it, husband thought it was OK, I ended up finishing the son's soup.

Get one bowl of it for your entire party. It's worth it to try it.

DS & I think it's absolutely the best we've ever eaten. Tried to replicate @ home w/recepie they provide, but just not the same. Can't wait to enjoy again in December.

Would it be OK to just order the cheese soup and a beverage? I am thinking at lunchtime? Would I need a ressie?

You can just order the cheese soup and a beverage. Depending on your date of lunch and the time, you might need a ressie. But you can always just check at the podium and see how long a stand by wait would be.

you can also get it to go!!

also, I only like cream of chicken soup!

This I use as a "dip" I didnt care for the potatoes in it, but I like the flavor! (or maybe I LOVED the flavor! can you say "picky" that is ME!! )

I thought it sounded gross, but I decided to try it just because everyone talks about it on here. DISers were not wrong - it's great.

 

[RumpleMom]

Be sure to try the pretzel bread along with the soup. Fantastic!

Ok, can somebody explain to me what exactly it is? I am curious about it. I really want to try it as I love cheese, but what kind of cheese is it and how creamy is it? Is there anything besides cheese in it? I really dislike potato soup, is this anything like that? I just do not want to waste my appetizer credit on it just to not like it. I am such a picky eater..lol

We have adrs for Thur 9/8. There will be 6 of us, but I know my 10yr old DDs will not be able to eat enough to spend a whole TS credit on them. I plan to have one of them order the cheese soup (maybe the other will order a small salad) and pay out of pocket, as those items are relatively cheap ($5) then we'll use 4 TS credits for the rest of us and just all share! I'm guessing there will still be plenty of food for all of us, and we can try some of the other more elaborate apps using the dining plan.

Here are the ingredients...it is very creamy...no chunky pieces except some crumbled bacon, if I recall. This is a must-do for us each trip...it is just yummy! (the ingredients list from the recipe I received from Le Cellier was more specific, though...it called for a darker beer and flavored bacon - apple, maybe...I can't find my copy at the moment).

1/2 lb bacon cut into 1/2 in. pieces
3 celery ribs cut into 1/4 in pieces
3 cups milk
1 medium red onion cut into 1/4 in. pieces
2 tbsp butter
3 cups water
3 dashes tabasco
1 cup flour
1/2 cup beer
3/4 lb. grated white cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

I know that we're the minority, but the 3 of didn't like it at all. The pretzel bread was very good, but the soup tasted very sour to us.

 

[snuggles]

I'm a cheese soup fan! Just sitting here thinking of it makes my mouth water. I'm in such need of a Disney fix.....

Why don't you try making some at home?

Here's the recipe from "MousePlanet":

I plan to be back for yet another meal at Le Cellier on my next trip, and recommend it to anyone else. Priority seating arrangements are generally necessary for dinner and recommended for lunch, but walkups are possible during the afternoon. Le Cellier is a terrific place to cool off and take a break from the heat and crowds while enjoying a delicious meal and efficient friendly service.

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup (Le Cellier)

* 1 pound cheddar cheese, shredded
* 1/2 pound bacon
* 4 strips smoked apple wood bacon
* 10 tablespoons butter
* 5 cups milk, warmed
* 1 cup celery, finely chopped
* 1 length leeks, finely chopped
* 2 red onions, finely chopped
* 1 1/2 cup flour
* 1 quart chicken stock
* 1 1/2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
* 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
* Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
* Kosher salt, to taste
* 3 tablespoons ale

Directions:

Slowly heat milk. Brown the regular bacon first, then after it is rendered halfway, add the smoked bacon and render together. Add the butter and melt. Add celery, onions and leeks, cook until translucent. Add flour and mix thoroughly to form a roux. Add chicken stock and simmer for 3 minutes. Add warm milk and stir vigorously to thicken. Cook out roux until thickened (it should not have a starchy taste). Reduce heat to low, add cheese, and stir until melted. Season with kosher salt, pepper, Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce. Add warm ale just before serving. Makes 1 gallon.

Important re-heating instructions: When reheating soup, do not bring to a boil; it will break down.

I was going to bake a Grand Marnier Souffle after I put up some durarock in the bathroom this morning. I may go for the gold and try this one, too.
