Sierra Pale Ale and Fiscalini Farms Cheddar Cheese Soup With Ahwahnee Sourdough Croutons

Remove crust from the bread; cut bread into small cubes, 1/2-inch by 1/2-inch, which should yield approximately four cups of bread cubes. Warm clarified butter and olive oil together over moderate heat in a large sauté pan, add garlic and sauté lightly to perfume olive oil-butter blend; remove garlic. Add bread cubes to sauté pan with olive oil-butter blend, then add the parsley, cheese, salt and pepper. Coat all bread cubes evenly. Arrange seasoned bread cubes on a sheet tray, bake at 350 degrees until golden brown, approximately 12 minutes.
