Second try - Soup Series 7 - Irish Beer Cheddar Soup

Made another attempt, and this time it came out very good.

Irish Beer Cheddar Soup

inspired by Buffalo's Blackthorn restaurant's soup, as seen on Diners, Dives & Drive-ins

This time I sauteed onions, carrots, and celery in butter. Once softened, but not browned, I added Killian's Red Irish Ale. Brought to a simmer. Then took off heat. Added shredded cheddar & colby jack slowly, whisking it in. Then added white pepper, montreal steak seasoning, seasoned salt, and chicken base. Then whisked in some instant mashed potato flakes to thicken. Then put back on heat to let it thicken a little bit. Made sure I did not boil it. Then added some heavy cream and nacho cheese. This was great. I forgot to add sliced white american cheese but next time I would. This would be great served with sliced green onions. It did come out a bit salty as I added too much chicken bouillon. But this was very good and I will make it again for sure.
