    Vermont Canna-Cheddar Ale Soup

    This soup is a love letter to the Green Mountain State in a bowl. Vermont is known for its world-class cheddar cheese, and for being one of the OG states to embrace the cannabis lifestyle. This creamy, rich soup pays tribute to the newly legalized state in the best way possible.

    Ingredients:

    4 slices of bacon
    4 tablespoons of cannabutter
    ½ cup of onion (minced)
    ¼ cup of carrot (minced)
    ¼ cup of celery (minced)
    1 small bay leaf
    cup of all-purpose flour
    1 (12-ounce) bottle of ale
    2½ cups of milk
    1 (14-ounce) can of chicken broth
    1 teaspoon of dry mustard
    1 pound of sharp cheddar cheese
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Directions:

    Cook bacon on stovetop, and set aside. Crumble when cool enough to handle.
    Melt cannabutter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrot, and bay leaf; stir continuously until vegetables are tender and translucent (about 4-5 minutes).
    Add flour, and stir for about three minutes.
    Pour in ale, and whisk for about two minutes until bubbly and thickened. Whisk in milk, dry mustard, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, while stirring frequently.
    Lower heat, and add cheese one small handful at a time while whisking. Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted, but don’t allow the mixture to boil.
    Remove from heat, and discard bay leaf. Garnish with bacon and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.

    Corn flakes. Fight me if you think cereal isn’t soup.

      This just made me think… What exactly defines a soup vs beverage? Solid matter? A bloody Mary is a soup. I’d like to be a bloody Mary.

      But in reality I’d probably be cream of something soup, which now sounds more like a terrible beverage than a soup.

        I’d offer temperature but I’ve seen chilled soups. I would never try one but they exist.

    Do stews count? I’d be Brunswick Stew. Growing up in Virginia, my mother had me convinced that Brunswick Stew was made with meat from the rare and elusive Brunswick (a distant cousin of the jackalope).

      I already question whether I’m an animal purée wrapped in a thin film.

      Brand new sentence?

    I’d like to believe that I’d be a dandelion and chickpeas soup. It’s a bit bitter, but less than it looks like; rather unimpressive and without “woosh”, and frankly weird, but filling.

    Some days I feel like I’d just be boiled water. But today’s a good day and I think I’m more like tomato soup. Not terribly exciting, but familiar and satisfying. And sometimes you can find whole basil leaves in me.
