This is a wonderful beer cheese soup that will warm you up and give you the extra protein you need to do all that spring cleaning. I you don't want to add the beer you can just add a little more chicken broth to equal that amount of beer you would normally add. Either way this soup is wonderful. I paired it with some cornbread. That recipe is in this blog if you want to look that up too.
Beer Cheese Soup
Sauté onion and garlic together for a few minutes then add 1 cup celery and carrots to the pan and cook until soft. Add 1tps hot pepper sauce, ½ tsp cayenne, ½ tsp salt and pepper or more if you like any of these ingredients.
Add 3 cups of chicken broth, and 2 cups of beer, 1/3 cup butter and stir to combine. Add slowly while stirring 1/3 cup flour to the beer cheese soup recipe.
Add 4 cups of milk or half and half to the beer cheese soup recipe. Stir until mixed well. Add 6 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or more if you like it creamy. Then add 1/3 cup of cream cheese and 1/3 cup of sour cream.
Last thing to add to this beer cheese soup is 2 TBS of Worcestershire Sauce, 1 TBS Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp dry mustard.
Enjoy
