Creamy Irish Potato Soup

This is adapted from this site

Ingredients

• 2 T butter
• 4 green onions
• 1 stalk celery
• 1 C veggie Broth
• 1 bottle Guinness
• 2 medium potatoes, sliced
• 1.5 C sharp cheddar, shredded
• 2 C milk

Instructions

1. Sautee the onions and celery in the butter until tender.
2. Add broth, pepper, Guinness and potatoes; boil and simmer until potatoes are tender. Add more liquid if necessary.
3. Blend with the cheese and milk – this should be done in parts with a stand blender.

Notes

I made this one up as I went along the first time, and ended up with way too much potato. Of the three balanced flavors here – beer, potato, and cheese – the first two can occur in basically any ratio, and complement each other well. Just be conservative with the cheese, lest the soup end up tasting like liquid cheddar.
