Baby Doe's Beer Cheese Soup

By dinachapman

(I've never tried this recipe but it is supposed to be authentic. If you're not into using MSG,I guess you could just leave it out. Anyone have any suggestions? In case you didn't know,Baby Doe's closed several years ago and the building has been torn down. The old Pearl Beer sign with the running waterfall still stands although it has been used by several other companies since Pearl last used it.)

Ingredients

• Pint of milk
• Pint of chicken stock
• 1/2 oz of MSG
• 1/2 oz of Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 12 oz. beer
• 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese
• Salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, bring milk to simmering point. Add chicken stock, cheese and other ingredients except the cornstarch and beer. Simmer until cheese is melted. Make a thin cornstarch paste by adding a little water and use to thicken the soup just before serving, then add the beer.
