I got this recipe from the Disney Link on my desktop. Enjoy!

Canadian Cheddar Cheese Soup
As served at Le Cellier Steakhouse @ Epcot

Serves 10

1/2 pound of bacon cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
3 celery ribs, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
4 cups milk
3/4 pound grated white cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Coarse salt, freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup warm beer
Chopped scallions or chives for garnish

1. In a 4 or 5 quart Dutch oven, cook the bacon, stirring over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Add the red onion, celery, and butter and sauteâ€™ until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes over medium heat. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the milk and continue to simmer for 15 minutes. Do not boil after you add the milk.
5. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper until the cheese is melted and the soup is smooth. Stir in warm beer. If the soup is too thick, thin with some warm milk.
6. Serve soup hot, garnished with chopped scallions or chives.

What to drink: Try a double fermented, dark Canadian beer. The robust flavor complements the smooth, earthy flavor of the soup.

Looks awesome - I'll have to try it.

I have two Disney cookbooks with recipies from the different Disney parks & resorts. I love those books - I guess if I can't be there I can still eat like I'm there. Very Happy
