GUINNESS & DUBLINER CHEESE SOUP RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large saucepan or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot and cook until softened, stirring often, about 15-20 minutes. If vegetables start to brown too quickly (before they're softened), add a splash of chicken broth to the pan. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes. Add the beer and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture will be very thick and sticky at this point. Add the chicken broth, milk, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard powder, and let simmer over medium-low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The soup will thicken and reduce slightly as it simmers. Remove the pot from the heat and transfer soup mixture to a blender. Make sure the blender is only about 1/3 to 1/2 full and remove the centre piece of the lid to allow steam to escape (but cover with a cloth or towel to avoid splatters). Puree until smooth, then transfer back to the pot. With the pot over medium-low heat, add the shredded cheese by the handful, stirring constantly until cheese is melted and soup is smooth. Taste, and if a stronger Guinness flavour is desired, add a splash of beer to the soup before serving. Season with salt and pepper if desired and serve immediately.

THE DUBLINER

Steps:

• Add the large ice cube to a stemmed, wide-mouthed cocktail glass. Using the back of a large spoon, carefully pour the stout into the glass over the ice cube. Carefully layer the espresso liqueur, using the back of the spoon again, over the ice cube.
• In a shaker, add some ice, the heavy cream and curacao and whip-shake until combined. Float the cream on top of the coffee-infused stout, layering again with the back of a large spoon. Garnish with a couple coffee beans and serve immediately.
