Beer Soup

Heres the recipe for the beer soup

1/2 cup of butter (salted or unsalted. i use salted)
1 leek cleaned and thinly sliced
1 Carrot peeled and cut
1 stalk of celery
salt and pepper
1/2 all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of dried mustard
4 cups of chicken broth
1 bottle of newcastle beer
2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cups of parmesan
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon worcestershire
2 table spoons of parsley

(i usually cut up 2 cups of carrots, leeks and celery, just to have more veggies in the soup... you can also add potatoes if you like, i usually add one)

in a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. add leek, carrot, and celery and saute until softened, about 10 mins. season with salt and pepper

stir in flour and dried mustard until incorporated and cook for about 1 minute. add the stock and ale and bring to a simmer over high heat. reduce heat to medium and cook, whisking to break up any lumps of flour, until mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 mintues. add the cheese and whisk constantly until nicely melted, 3-5 mins longer. do not let boil. stir in the cayenne and worcestershire sauce, taste and adjust the seasoning.

and thats it!

i had my job developer meeting today, we discussed what i was looking for and what to do when i apply for jobs... so i pretty much apply for jobs and then tell her where i applied and she follows up on it.

im hoping something comes my way.. i need a job... or even a second one...

i also talked to my boss today, she said she was gonna speak with the manager about getting me to help in other departments.. but im going to talk to the manager tomorrow about it, just incase she forgot, because she does do that... its just i can not live off of 16hrs a week..
