Say Cheese Wine Trail 2013 – OakGlenn Winery

The views of the new fallen snow were breathtaking at the top of the hill at OakGlenn Winery just outside Hermann Missouri.  They prepared a delicious nacho cheese soup for visitors and used a nicely designed mug that each wine trail participant was able to take with them.  The spicy soup was paired with OakGlenn’s own Blush wine.

Nacho Cheese Soup

• 4 Tbsp butter
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 4 Tbsp flour
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. white pepper
• 4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup nacho cheese
• 2 Tbsp. minced nacho chilies for garnish

1. In a 4 quart oven proof ceramic dish, saute celery and onions in butter until translucent in microwave.
2. Add flour, mix thoroughly, heat in microwave, til bubbling.
3. Add milk and return to microwave on medium power til bubbly.
4. Stir every 2 minutes to prevent clumping.  If soup is not smooth, use a hand processor to soften.
5. Add nacho cheese to hot mixture, stirring rapidly.
6. Serve hot with minced nacho chilies if desired.
