(makes 6 servings)
INGREDIENTS:
5 tablespoons margarine
2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
5 button mushrooms, chopped
1/2 cup chopped ham
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 cups chicken broth
4 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/2 – 1 cup beer or to taste
salt to taste
DIRECTIONS:
In a large heavy kettle, melt butter or margarine.
Add carrots, celery, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, and ham
Cook over medium heat until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not brown.
Stir in flour and cornstarch; cook, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes.
Add broth and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened.
