mr_jawa: As someone from Wisconsin I have to say Beer Cheese Soup is wonderful – however you’re limiting yourself for only using one kind of beer and one kind of cheese. Try a wheat beer plus half as much porter or red or more robust beer and gruyere and dryer cheese as well. Better yet use the rinds of a good parm as well. Adding 1/4 of the beer as a cherry lambic and then Gorgonzola or Gouda makes a wonderful different profile. Also try going with a super sharp cheddar with apple cider beer as well as the kicker. So many possibilities!
bepeacock: that whole time i was waiting for the beef to be added because i read the title wrong…
illinoishokie: This was great! Probably my favorite soup ever. I just omitted the onion, celery, garlic, butter, salt, flour, chicken broth, heavy cream, cheddar, chives and croutons.
Kadlekins_At_Work: Packer training camp began in Green Bay today – 10/10 appropriate.
EatItUpTV: I’ve been on a beer kick lately, so here’s another good one. This soup is pretty popular around here.

LaFs14: Sorry for my ignorance, novice chef here.
What’s the purpose of adding the flower to the cooked vegetables before adding the beer and broth? I’ve seen this in a few recipes and have tried to find on google the purpose but can’t find anything.
Thanks.

Civil_Defense: The best part is that it has no calories.
Pinky135: I’d call that a sauce rather than soup, but it might be too runny still…
N1ckc1N: Add more beer, potatoes and chunks of grilled bratwurst.
Apexunderneath: “Soup” — Looks delicious though
digdugsmug: I thought the traditional topping for beer cheese soup is popcorn, or is that a regional thing?
imminent_buttstorm: This is awesome – I can’t wait to try it out!
Leatherman: Can’t go wrong with anything that includes beer!
yodeadassb: Americans are weird.
yumpkin: For some reason I read this as “beef and cheddar soup”. Beer and cheddar sound delicious but i wouldn’t be mad with beef haha.
not_here-not_now: I like how the beer was in a pint glass. Like OP poured a cup, tasted it, and decided they didn’t like the flavor for drinking so cooked with it instead!
BaddTuna: I am amazed! A GIF recipient that we don’t all hate!!
Sketty-Betty: This looks kinda sketchy but I’ll still eat it

KassandraB: Mmm this looks fantastic. I’ll be making extra croutons for dippin’
Lilmamamelon: Is there a special “cooking beer” someone underage can buy? I’m not 21 but I want some beer cheese soup
Rambo1stBlood: I don’t know how I feel about this one.
Vegetable_Burrito: I’m imagining the cheese stew from 30 Rock right now.
But this looks seriously delicious.
timeoutofmind: Would this work without the chicken broth? If so, anything you’d recommend replacing it with?
halica84: Needs more meat and potatoes
Slapdad-fish: That cheese was not yellow
noxumida: Oh my god that is SO MUCH HEAVY CREAM!
