Potato Beer Cheese Soup

 Dice up potatoes 10 small white or red or 4 russets into 1" pieces
  Option to add:  diced onion, celery and carrot sauted the carrots will still be firm when you add them to the soup.
1 box of chicken stock or broth
1 bottle of beer
Make cheese sauce and add it at the end)
   Cheese sauce:  1/4 C Butter - Margarine  or Olive Oil
                            1/4 C Flour
Yup you are making a roux again....I do this alot :)  See the Kitchen Hints Tab.
                           2 Ladels of water from the Potatoes
                           2 C of Milk
                           2 C of grated cheese

Cook the potatoes in the chicken stock/broth until they are done (add water or more stock to make sure the potatoes are covered) - poke em with a fork, if the fork goes in easy they are done.



Add the bottle of beer - or more if you have beer lovers in the house. Add the cheese sauce and salt and pepper to taste.  Simmer until thick - it will continue to thicken after it sits and is fantastic the next day!

I will add hot sauce because I put it on everything.
