I’d like a copycat Recipe For Granite City’s (the restaurant) Ale and Cheddar Soup.?
Granite City’s ale & cheddar soup is really good. I’d really like a copycat recipe for it. If you have the recipe please answer
I know this is NOT from the restaurant you mentioned, but it may be a “close” substitute. It looks good to me! lol
The-Closest-that-I’ve-Ever-Gotten-to-Grizzly-Peak’s-Cheddar & Ale Soup-Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 large white onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 stick butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 12-ounce bottles English Ale (we used New Castle – a better ale flavor)
2 tsp mustard (we used Dijon – a nicer spice)
1 cup heavy cream (we used whole milk because we didn’t have cream)
12-16 ounces aged cheddar cheese (err on the heavy side – you can never have too much cheese)
2-3 shakes Tabasco
2-3 shakes Worcestershire
Salt and pepper to taste
PROCEDURE:
In a large pot saute the sliced white onion and garlic in about 1/2 stick of butter. Cook the onions really slowly, for about 15 minutes, without browning them. Then sprinkle about 1/3 cup of flour onto them, stir it up and cook for about 5 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. This will help to thicken the soup later on. Then add the vegetable or chicken broth, ale and mustard. Turn the heat up and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. While that’s happening, grate the cheddar cheese. After it’s simmered for about 15-20 minutes, add 1 cup of heavy cream and the grated cheese, and let it cook until the cheese melts. Puree the soup using an electric hand blender, or puree it in batches in a food processor or blender. Be careful, the hot liquid expands as it purees. When the soup is totally smooth, add a couple of shakes of Tabasco and a couple of shakes of Worcestershire. Season it with salt and pepper to taste and it’s ready to go. Serve it with some crunchy croutons and some chopped green onions on top if you like. http://lunatismo.blogspot.com/2006/03/cheddar-and-ale-soup.html
It looks like Granite City uses toasted rye croutons, and their own Granite City beer.
