Here is a modified recipe that I use:

Ingredients:

1 Pound Applewood Smoked Bacon

1 stick of butter

2 Diced red onion

6 Diced celery stalks

2 Cup all purpose flour

1 can of Chicken Broth (49.5 oz can)

½ gallon whole milk

2 Pound aged white Cheddar cheese block

1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

1 Tablespoon pepper

2 Tablespoon Worchester sauce

1 Tablespoon Tabasco sauce

1 bottle of Moosehead Lager

Two main rules to making Cheese Soup: 1) Cook “Low and slow” 2) “keep stirring”

1. In a large Soup pot cook (food processed) bacon until crispy.

2. Add the Butter and melt it.

3. Add the (food processed) Onion and Celery and sauté until all cooked clear.

4. Dust this with flour and mix to form a roux. Keep stirring until all of the flour has been incorporated.

5. Add chicken broth, slowly, while constantly stirring. You are looking for something resembling a gravy, at this point. It's going to be very thick.

6. Next add milk, again slowly, while constantly stirring. This should significantly lighten up your soup at this point.

7. Turn heat up slightly, to melt the cheese. Add (shredded) cheese very slowly in small amounts, while stirring constantly.

8. Now add salt and pepper. Be very careful with your salt. There is a lot of salt in your bacon, and possibly even in your chicken broth.

9. Next add Worchester, Tabasco, and Beer. Keep stirring.

10. Turn down the heat slightly and let simmer or serve.

When you are reheating this soup (in a microwave) cool on the lowest power setting & stir frequently, to blend evenly.

We purchased our 5th wheel from Pocono RV in Wind Gap, PA. At first we were very happy with our purchase. They had exactly what we wanted & at a price we could afford. We would drive the 3 hours to have them service our camper. As soon as the manufacturer warranty was expired, they changed their tune. We had purchased an additional warranty at the initial sale. They billed service as warranty & tried to bill us too. We tried to explain the situation several times. They didn't care. I wrote a very not-so-nice letter & never received a call or letter in regards But, when they have a sale, they still send us a flyer. Definitely, a disappointment.

About 5 years ago, we broke a shock mount on our old 5th wheel. We called Frank & he welded it back in place. I thought it was a little pricey, but what other options do you have 1,000 miles from home.
