Easy Veggie Beer Soup – Warms the Cockles

December 18, 2016 By Jittery Cook 4 Comments

I bit the bullet and bought an Instant Pot on Black Friday. It wasn’t the latest model and it wasn’t the larger size I was advised to buy, but it was over 60% off and I can rarely resist a bargain. Out came Marilyn Haugen‘s 175 Best Instant Pot Recipes cookbook, and lo and behold I’m starting each day with 3 minute steel-cut oats.

This Easy Beer Veggie Soup warmed the cockles of my book club buddies at our holiday potluck dinner. The recipe is a jittery version of Haugen’s Broccoli and Beer Cheese Soup. You can whip this up in no time — even if you use a regular pot.

  • 2 T butter
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 3 carrots, grated
  • 1 broccoli, florets only cut bite-sized
  • 1 cauliflower, florets only cut bite-sized
  • 4 t dry mustard
  • 2 t kosher salt
  • 1 t freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 c soup stock
  • 3 t Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 c grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1 12 oz can lager-style beer, at room temperature
  • sliced scallions as garnish

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium high heat. Add onions, and cook for 5 – 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Add carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, dry mustard, salt, pepper, stock and Worcestershire sauce, stirring well. Cook for 15 – 20 minutes, until vegetables are softened. Add beer and cheese, stirring to combine. Garnish with scallions. Serves 6 – 8.

      Thanks Jovina!
      It was lighter and more refreshing than I would have expected from a beer cheese soup.

    Hi! Can’t wait to incorporate beer into a soup recipe!
    Is an instant pot the same as a slow cooker?

      It is an interesting subtle difference from our usual veggie soups.
      The instant pot is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, yogurt maker, sautées, and does something else that I forget at the moment. It’s a cool gadget that’s growing in popularity. I’m looking forward to experimenting – especially with the pressure cooking.
