MATT'S BEER AND CHEESE SOUP

This recipe was in the Washington Post when I lived there, hundreds of years ago.   They called it
"Washington Redskins Beer and Cheese Soup."  Since I hate the Redskins, that name had to go.

I figured that since the original called for carrots and other vile vegetables which I discarded (I guess you
could put them back in if you actually like them), I could name it for myself!.
INGREDIENTS

1 pound mushrooms
1/2 cup flour
5 cups chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
6 ounces grated cheddar cheese
11 ounces beer (or more!  In DC, I used Genny Cream.  Use your discretion.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Sauté mushrooms.  Blend in flour, then chicken broth and dry mustard.  Simmer 5 minutes.

Add cheeses and beer.  Simmer 10 minutes.

Salt and pepper to taste.  Serve with French bread.
