Preparation

  • In a large cauldron at medium heat, heat a good quantity of olive oil and cook shallot and leeks for 4 minutes.
  • Add carrots, celery and garlic, then cook for another 5 minutes. Add thyme and pepper. No need to salt! Cheese and duck confit will be enough as seasoning for everything.
  • Sprinkle flour then add butter and cook while mixing for 3 minutes. Add milk and crumble with a whisk. Don't worry if there are remainings!
  • Add beer, chicken broth and remaining spices then mix well. Simmer at low heat for 12 minutes or until vegetables tenders.
  • Lower temperature and set everything up in a blender. Texture must be smooth!
  • Add cheese and melt while stirring regularly. Rectify seasoning if necessary. Add a bit of chicken broth if soup consistency is too thick.
  • Meanwhile, in a pan at medium heat, heat a good quantity of olive oil. Add chorizo and roast 5 minutes. Add shredded duck confit with mushrooms then fry 4 minutes. Garnish the soup with this mixture and enjoy !!!
