It’s absolutely frigid outside! The temperatures have dipped quite low for the past couple of days. But don’t panic!! I have the perfect soup to keep you nice and warm: Three Cheese Shrimp Beer Soup!! When I’m cold nothing seems to warm me up like a good bowl of hot soup.

This Three Cheese Shrimp Beer Soup is just divine!

I mean, it’s cheeses and booze in a slurp. Can you ask for something else?

Can you ask for something else?

Wait. It doesn’t sound like me. Besides an occasional glass of white wine, I am not really into alcohol. But when it comes to cooking, I think alcohol brings out the flavor in food.

I know this not the classic Midwestern Beer-Cheese-Soup recipe. I just got super creative and throw in a bunch of different ingredients I had in my fridge. And because I LOVE cheese I added three types: Cheddar, Monterey.

A combination of flavors that will leave you wanting one more bowl!

You’re going to love this soup because:

• It is so simple to put together but the flavor tastes like it took all day to make.
• It’s warm,
• rich and
• hearty.
• The texture is fabulous, soft and creamy, with no stringy blobs of cheddar in sight! But it’s important that the cheeses are at room temperature when you add them to the soup, so take them out of the fridge 30 or so minutes before you plan to start making the soup.

• ▢ 3 cups seafood stock (see notes)
• ▢ 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

 

• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, green onions, and garlic. Cook for 5 - 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in flour, dry mustard, and cayenne pepper. Add stock and continue stirring until incorporated and bubbly. Add beer and cream. Stir in potatoes and mix to combine. Bring to boiling; reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add shrimp and cook for 2 – 3 minutes more, or until shrimp are opaque and pink.
• Gradually stir in cheeses in 3 batches, stirring after each addition, until cheeses are melted.
• If desired, garnish each serving with parsley or chive. Serve immediately.

Oriana's Notes

I used seafood stock because it happened I had some in my pantry, but if you don't have it use vegetable stock.

Avoid using a dark beer, which could make the soup too bitter.

You can also use chicken instead of shrimp. If using chicken add chicken stock.
