1 carrot, finely diced
1 stalk celery, finely diced
1 pt. full-bodied ale
5 garlic cloves, minced
3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped

2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
¾ cup soy sauce or 2 cups concentrated beef broth
¼ tsp. cayenne powder
1 Tbsp. brown sugar

Steps

  1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sauté onions in oil, stirring frequently until onions start to caramelize. Add carrot and celery, and saute for 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, and bring soup to a simmer. Simmer soup for 1 hour. Taste and add more salt, if necessary. Serve hot soup with chunks of crusty bread.
