INGREDIENTS
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 large onion ; chopped
- 1 bottle (12 oz) beer ; preferably ale
- 2 bag (18 oz) potatoes ; precooked diced peeled (see Tip)
- 1 can (14 oz) vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 1/2 cup nonfat or low-fat milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup sharp Cheddar cheese ; shredded and divided
- 1 small red bell pepper ; thinly sliced or finely chopped
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add beer; bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Add potatoes, broth and water; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and mash the potatoes with a potato masher to the desired consistency.
Whisk milk and flour and add to the soup. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in 1 1/4 cups cheese and stir until melted. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bell pepper.
NOTES
Tip:
Look for precooked diced potatoes in the refrigerated section of most supermarket produce departments - near other fresh, prepared vegetables.
Substitution tip:
Peel 2 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and boil until tender (about 15 minutes).
