I asked our waitress for the cheddar cheese soup recipe at Le Cellier and she said the receptioinst could give it to me. I forgot to ask on my way out!
I'm returning in June.....I'll ask for both then, but hope I find them sooner!
Well here's the cheddar cheese soup recipe. I made it a couple weeks ago and it was really great!
No idea on where to get the pretzel one though.
CCS on AllEars
Ingredients:
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
Method:
In a soup pot, start to brown the bacon over medium heat. When the bacon is starting to get crisp, add the onions, celery and butter. Cook until the onion is translucent.
Add the flour and incorporate with the butter. Cook for 4 minutes, constantly stirring.
Add the water and whisk. Make sure there are no lumps.
Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stir every couple of minutes.
Add the milk and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Do not boil after you add the milk.
After the last 15 minutes, turn off the heat and stir in the cheese then the beer. Add the tabasco and season with salt and pepper. If the soup is too thick you can thin it out with some milk.
Serve with your favorite bread and top with some chopped scallions or chives.
