The Book of Refreshments, Chapter 14, Verses 42 through 58
[ http://www.bookofrefreshments.com/refresh14.html#42 ]

42. Louis did closely watch as Phil made the soup, for he thought that 
it would be a pleasant thing to serve on cold winter afternoons.

43. The margarine was melted and flour and salt and dry mustard were 
each stirred in, and it was cooked over a small fire until it was 
smooth.

44. And while Phil did this, he also drank a beer.

45. Then did Phil take the cookpot away from the fire, and he did add 
milk and the sauce from the western shire.

46. And while Phil did this, he also drank another beer.

47. Then did Phil place the cookpot back upon the small fire and cook 
the soup until it did cleave to a spoon.

48. And while Phil did this, he also drank still another beer.

49. The cheese was then added, for it had been cut into very small bits 
for just this purpose.

50. And while Phil did this, he also drank yet one more beer.

51. And Louis saw that Phil was sloshed, and it was so.

52. Phil then with great difficulty did stir in many vegetables of the 
family Brassicaceae that had been cut up into nice, bite-sized pieces 
and then cooked until they were just soft.

53. Then he did take one more beer and did pour it into the soup.

54. Louis then said unto Phil, "Beer? In soup?"

55. And Phil did look upon Louis in a way that was blurred and quite 
unstable and said only "It'sh firsty."

56. Then did Phil finish stirring the soup and did crawl off to sleep 
on the floor, under a chair, and next to an attractive young lady who 
snored in a way that was softly feminine.

57. Louis did taste the cheese soup, and it was good, and he served 
himself a goodly portion and did garnish it with parsley and croutons.

58. Thus did he learn the secret of the Cheese Soup with Beer, though 
Phil still doesn't remember having cooked that night.
