How To Make canadian cheddar cheese soup

  • Step 1
    Cook bacon in a large pot until until crisp. Add butter. Once the butter has melted, add the onions, mushrooms & celery & cook until tender, 10 minutes. Add the flour (roux) & mix well.
  • Step 2
    Pour in broth & let simmer. Stir constantly until lumps no longer appear. While the broth is simmering, warm up milk in a second large pot or in your microwave. You want it slightly warm, not hot.
  • Step 3
    Once milk has warmed, carefully add it to the pot of broth, stirring constantly to thicken. Reduce heat to low & slowly add the cheese, a little at a time. Mix well until melted.
  • Step 4
    Add salt, pepper, worcestershire, tabasco & warm beer, stirring continuously. Simmer on low another 15 minutes. Then ladle into bowls. Top with a dollop of sour cream, crispy, crumbled bacon, chives & a small handfull of popcorn.
