From a post below:

Le Cellier Cheddar Cheese Soup

1/2 lb bacon cut into 1/2" pieces
3 celery ribs cut into 1/4" pieces
3 cups milk
1 medium red onion cut into 1/4" pieces
2 Tbsp butter
3 cups water or chicken broth
3 dashes tabasco
1 cup flour
1/2 cup beer
3/4 lb grated white cheddar cheese
salt and pepper

In a soup pot, start to browm bacon over medium heat. When bacon starts to crisp, add onion, celery and butter. Cook until onion is translucent. Add the flour and incorporate with butter. Cook for 4 munutes, stirring constantly. Add the walter/broth and whisk to remove lumps. Bring to boil and then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutesm stirring every couple of minutes. Add the milk and simmer for another 15 minutes. DO NOT BOIL. Turn off heat and stir in cheese and beer. Add tabasco and salt and pepper to taste. If soup is too thick, thin with milk. Top with chopped scallions or chives and serve with crusty bread.

I made it this past weekend and it was very good.

I'm veggie. Has anyone tried making this without the bacon? I take it that it just won't be the same?

Sorry, don't know the answer to that. When I made it I used both the Bacon and the beer. It was very good.

Thanks for the quick response, Maggie. I made it on Saturday and it was terrific [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] . One thing that helps is to use Moose Head Ale, which is what they use at Le Cellier. You can also use a flavored soy bacon-type product.
I used a big stock pot and doubled the recipe. As I was tired, I had asked DS,Christopher to ,ake sure that the stove was off after everyone was served but apperantly he didn't hear me. After a bit,I started to smell "Burning" and DD,Pam ran into the kitchen to check and the pot was bubbling over [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ! Christopher commented that it looked like "lava"!Smelled like toasted cheese!The pot survived though! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
