Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 10 oz. pkg. frozen mixed vegetables

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon salt -- if desired

1 teaspoon dry mustard

2 cups milk

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

1 cup beer

1 cup croutons

 

Prepare the frozen vegetables according to directions on package; drain

and set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt butter or margarine; stir in flour, salt, and

mustard. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and

bubbly, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in the milk and

Worcestershire sauce.

Heat the milk mixture, stirring constantly, until it boils and thickens

enough to coat a spoon, about 4 minutes. Stir in the cheese.

Cook and continue to stir over medium heat until the cheese is melted,

about 5 minutes. Stir in the vegetables and beer, and bring the soup back to

a simmer. Garnish with croutons.
