Le Cellier Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup

Today we start off our culinary adventure for the 365 In Home Dining Challenge in Canada, okay Epcot’s version of Canada. I decided to cook LeCellier’s Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup. Not only is this one of my family’s favorite Disney recipes it also reminds us of so many fulfilling, fun meals we had at LeCellier. This soup is a rich, creamy wonder that I could eat over and over again. The fact that it has bacon makes it even more crave worthy. Here we go… Start by browning the bacon over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. You can use a 4-5 quart Dutch oven or stock pot. Add in the red onion, celery, and butter. Cook and stir until the onion has softened for about 5 minutes.   Reduce the heat to medium. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for 4 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock and then bring to a boil for about a minute. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Keep stirring constantly. Add in the milk and continue simmering for 15 minutes. Do NOT boil after you add in the milk. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese slowly. Add the Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper until the cheese has melted and the soup is a smooth consistency. Add the Pale Ale. If the soup is too thick add in warm milk. Serve the soup hot and garnish with chopped scallions or chives.   FYI: During this challenge we are going to include a key legend for difficulty so you know what to expect with the recipes.   Le Cellier Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup     Ingredients: ½ pound of bacon cut into ¼ inch pieces 1 medium red onion cut into ¼ inch pieces 3 celery ribs cut into ¼ inch pieces 4 tablespoons butter 1 cup all-purpose flour 3 cups chicken stock 4 cups milk 1 pound of grated white cheddar cheese 1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste ½ cup pale ale, room temperature Chopped scallions or chives, for garnish Directions: 1.
