For a vegetarian version, substitute the chicken stock with vegetable broth and omit the bacon. Try different types of cheese for a unique flavor profile. Gruyere or Monterey Jack would be excellent alternatives. Garnish with fresh chives or a swirl of cream for an elegant presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned. (Approximately 10 minutes). Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble.
02
StepMelt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir in onions, celery, and parsnips. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are very tender. (Approximately 10 minutes). Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant. (Approximately 1 minute). Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir constantly until flour dissolves. (Approximately 3-4 minutes).
03
StepSlowly stir chicken stock and ale into onion mixture. Add bay leaves and cayenne pepper. Increase heat to medium or medium-high to slowly bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low when mixture starts to bubble; simmer uncovered until soup reaches a smooth consistency. (Approximately 1 hour).
