Veg Chessy Beer Soup For Two#Soupswappers

When Kathy Altman gave us Carft Beer for this month theme my first reaction was yuck! Beer in a soup! Since I, am not a beer drinker, so as to say hate the smell and taste of it. But since this theme was given decided to try using it in the soup.
 After the soup was made and I had it .. it was delicious. Thanks to this group who pushes me try different recipes.

Cheesy Veg beer soup is the perfect comfort soup for grown-ups! No Not all you can even serve this to your adult kids since most alcohol, burns off during cooking and there will be vague beer tang that adds an oomph and flavor to the soup. Absolutely delicious, a must try recipe

Serves Two
Ingredients

1/2 Cup Macaroni - optional
1 Tablespoon Salted Butter
1 Tablespoon All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Milk
3 Tablespoons Shredded Cheddar cheese - or to taste
500 ML Water
1 Small Veg Stock Cube
1 Small Carrot - chopped
1/4 Cup Sprouted Fresh Green Peas
1 Scallion / Spring Onion
2 Cloves Garlic - chopped
1 Teaspoon Heaped Hot & Sweet Sauce
1 Teaspoon Red Chilly Garlic Sauce or to your taste
2 Teaspoons Sugar
2o0 ML Beer
1 Teaspoon Oil
1 Tablespoon Each Chopped Red, Green & Yellow Bell peppers
Method
Boil the pasta according to package directions, till al dente. Drain, and set aside.
Chop the the white and green part of scallion and keep them separately.
Heat oil in a large sauce pan, add the garlic and saute for a minute or till it releases an aroma, add the white part of the scallion and saute for a minute add the carrot and peas, saute till for a minute only, add the water and stock cube and let it come to a rolling boil. 
Increase heat to medium-high, and add the beer and bring all to a low boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 15 minutes. Now add the bell pepper, all the sauces, sugar and taste for flavors add more sauces according to your taste if required ( for us the quantity was perfect), stir it well and bring it to a boil.
In the meantime, in a another pan let's make the Bechamel Cheese sauce as per this method. When the sauce is ready add the cheese stir it well till it melts, keep aside.
