beer cheese soup

Cheddar ale potage

Beer cheese soup is a thick, creamy soup made with cheese—typically cheddar—and beer, often finished with vegetables like celery and onion.

A Midwestern American comfort food, it's frequently served in bread bowls at pubs and casual restaurants: We ordered the beer cheese soup as an appetizer.

The beer adds depth without making the soup taste alcoholic.
