BAKED POTATO & LEEK SOUP WITH CHEDDAR & BACON

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Scrub the potatoes, pat dry, and pierce several times with a fork. Set them directly on the oven rack and bake until very tender, about 1 hour. Let cool completely on a cooling rack.
- *Cook's Note: Sharp cheese works well in this soup because it melts smoothly. Extra sharp will give you a more pronounced flavor but because of the lower moisture content, the soup will be less smooth.

Steps:
- In a skillet, cook leek, garlic, and potato in 1 tablespoon of butter and the olive oil over medium low heat, stirring often. Do not allow potato to brown.
- Place mustard, salt, pepper, celery salt, and flour together in a bowl. Gradually whisk in water and chicken broth until well blended. Stir into potato mixture, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook for 1 hour.
- Mash softened potatoes by hand so they remain lumpy. Stir in Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses until melted, then add milk but do not boil. Cook mushrooms over medium high heat in remaining 1 tablespoon of butter until soft. Add to the soup, and stir. Serve immediately with croutons, if desired.

CHEDDAR LEEK SOUP
This is from the November 2009 Canadian Living Magazine and is easy and delicious. I use aged cheddar (it's white) and I shred enough until my box grater is about 3/4 full. I also never seem to have 3 cups left in my open box of Chicken stock so use 1 cup water and 1 tsp of my Epicure Chicken Stock spice. For the ale I've used Stella with great results.
