Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until it's crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to remove the grease on the bacon. KEEP the grease in the pan.
  • Still over medium heat, cook the yellow onion, jalapeño peppers, celery, and minced garlic in the bacon grease until the onions become translucent (5 to 7 minutes). Stir often.
  • Add the butter to the pan and continue to stir often until the butter is completely melted.
  • Transfer the mixture from the pan to a soup pot, then add the flour and stir until it's evenly spread among the vegetables, approximately 1 minute.
  • Add in the chicken broth. Stir the mix to combine, then lower the heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer for 10 minutes while stirring often.
  • Add the beer to the pot, and continue simmering for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Add in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Crumble the bacon, then add the bacon and Mexican cheese blend to the pot. Continue stirring until the cheese is completely melted into the soup.
  • Add the cayenne pepper powder, as well as salt and pepper (to taste). Stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat and serve with croutons or bread (optional).

Notes

If the beer flavor is too heavy, cut the flavor by adding a teaspoon of brown sugar. This will temper the flavor.
