Recipe Box, Pot o’ Gold Soup with Lucky Croutons
You don’t need a rainbow to find this Pot o’ Gold Soup, the rainbow is already in it!
It’s full of a rainbow of vegetables 🌈
and golden cheese
This “pot o’ gold” is simple to put together
Since it’s full of colorful vegetables, that cancels out the cheese and cream 😊
Saute the vegetables and then add the liquids and everything but the cheese
Cook this for a few minutes, then add the cheese
Cover and let the soup simmer on low to melt the cheese, 15-20 minutes
Don’t forget the “Lucky Croutons!”
Pot o’ Gold Soup with Lucky Croutons
Ingredients
- 1/2 large sweet onion chopped
- 3 stalks celery chopped
- 1/2 each red, yellow and green bell pepper, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 T butter
- 1/4 cup AP flour
- 1 12 oz bottle beer or ale
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 T Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups 8oz, grated smoked Gouda or Cheddar cheese
Lucky Croutons
- 10 Brussels sprouts
- 6-7 strips maple bacon
Instructions
- Cook onion, celery and peppers in butter for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add garlic and cook one minute.
- Add flour and cook and stir one minute. Add broth, beer, mustard, Worcestershire and cream. Stir and cook for a few minutes.
- Add cheese, lower heat and cover. Let soup simmer 10-20 minutes to let cheese melt into the liquid. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. 4 servings
Lucky Croutons
- Cut off stem ends of brussels sprouts and halve.
- Wrap each half in 1/3 strip of bacon stretching to fit and place seam side down on a foil lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes. Increase oven to 425 for a few minutes at the end if necessary to get the bacon cooked, watching carefully. Skewer sprouts on mini picks to serve with soup. Makes 20 “croutons”
Notes
Start these before you make the soup and everything will be done about the same time
It’s magic!
These are irresistible, promise…
Wonderful with a bowl of cheesy soup!
I hope you find [or make] a pot o’ gold!

I love that the veggies cancel out the cheese and cream!….Love soups recipes such as this one as it seems quick and easy and delicious!…We love brussels sprouts and bacon…so what a great lucky combination!….Definitely a pot of gold winner!
Thanks Shirley, next time I’m making more “croutons” they went like hot cakes!
This looks and sounds delicious, especially those “croutons!” How creative! Brussels Sprouts????! I must try these!!
thanks Zenda I hope you try them, they are amazing! Even brussel sprout haters like my husband loves these!
That soup looks delicious, and the lucky croutons look like something that I could make a meal out of by themselves. I love Brussels sprouts anyway. I’m trying both of these things. Yummy!
Make sure you make more than you think, you will be fighting for the last one! Thanks Pattie~
