DUTCH ONION POTATO CHEESE SOUP
Why I Love This Recipe
We only HOPE for leftovers. I use Gouda cheese, exclusively. It is a cross between French onion soup and Dutch potato cheese soup.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 Tablespoon butter OR margarine (I used 2 Tablespoons margarine, omitted the oil)
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups peeled, sliced onions
1/4 cup flour
2 - 10-1/2 ounce cans condensed beef broth (i.e., Campbell's)
2 cups water
12 ounces beer, OR additional water (I used water)
4 cups peeled, diced potatoes
2 cups (8 ounces) Gouda cheese, coarsely grated OR sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
In Dutch oven or large saucepan, heat butter and oil over medium high heat.
When butter is melted, add onions and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, until onions are golden brown. Sprinkle with flour and stir in.
Add broth, water and beer; bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes. When mixture comes to a boil, reduce heat to low.
Cover, leaving lid slightly ajar. Simmer 40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Mash potatoes into the broth.
Remove pan from heat; add cheese and pepper, stirring until cheese melts. Return to heat briefly, to reheat, but do not boil.
Serve hot. Makes about 6 servings.
