Ingredients
8 cup milk
2 tsp tabasco sauce
4 tsp worcestershire sauce
4 tbsp chicken base *
16 oz cheeze whiz
6 tbsp cornstarch
1/3 cup water
1 cup beer
1/8 tsp msg (i did not use)
1 cayenne pepper
Directions
Combine milk, Tabasco, Worcestershire, chicken base, & MSG. Bring to a
boil, stirring regularly.
Add Cheeze Whiz, after warming in hot water or in microwave. Mix in
well.
Dissolve cornstarch completely in the water. Add to soup, which
should thicken immediately. Reduce heat a bit and stir in beer.
To serve, ladle into bowls and dust with cayenne pepper.
*Chicken base can be found in the spice section. I used Schilling's
Chicken Flavor Base. Spice Islands also has a product called Chicken
Flavor Stock Base that is probably the same thing.
I would like to give credit to Scott Hammon, whose extra efforts
succeeded in wrangling this recipe from Baby Doe's chef. Since it's
been many years since I sampled this soup at the restaurant in
Dallas, I can't judge how closely this approximates the original.
But at least the results are tasty! Hope all who try it will enjoy it.

The History of Recipes
We can read the history of written recipes far back into antiquity, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that maybe, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote a number of scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he describes how the meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a very modern way of dining. Additionally, he describes how the ancient cooks made use of many different spices and herbs, including many that are still in use today such as bay, fennel and dill. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought back a variety of foods, spices and herbs from the Middle-East, such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new spices and herbs created a torrent in recipe books, most of which still exist in private cookery archives. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books are greatly in demand due to increased literacy, people having more free time and having more money to spend. |
