Here's a charming soup from the land of Gryla the Ogre--one that's traditionally served for Christmas dinner, right before the roast beef or roast lamb. It's smooth and rich with nice bites of flavor and color from the finely chopped celery and scallion--and very fast and easy to make. I recommend using white cheddar, extra sharp, instead of the cheddars dyed orange--it's much more appetizing and sets off the garnish nicely. Serve hot to 4 people. It's also rich enough to make a nice lunch with rye bread and a little salad.
Ingredients
· 4 Tablespoons flour
· 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
· 2 Tablespoons butter
· 4 green onions, finely chopped
· 1 stalk celery, with leaves, finely chopped
· 2 cups milk
· 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
· salt and pepper to taste
To garnish:
· 2 green onions, minced
1. Whisk the flour into the chicken stock and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter, then saute the celery and green onions until soft, about 3 minutes.
3. Pour in the milk and heat it with the vegetables. Then pour in the floured stock and whisk until slightly thickened. Sprinkle in the cheese and stir until it is melted. Reduce heat to very low, cover, and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
4. When ready to serve, whisk the soup well, ladle into bowls and top with the minced green onion.
