GERMAN BEER CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble; set aside.

• Add milk, broth, and beer in a stream, whisking, then simmer, whisking occasionally, 5 minutes or until foam subsides. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.
• Add cheese by handfuls, stirring constantly, but gently, and cook until cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes (do not boil). Stir in half of the crumbled bacon.
• Ladle soup into bowls and top with remaining bacon. Garnish with French fried onions and sliced green onion, if desired. Serve with your favorite beer!

• Melt butter in large saucepan over low heat. Stir in onions, celery, and parsnips. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes.
