rich and creamy

Diana Llora from HUNTERSVILLE, NC

This soup is rich and creamy. I adjusted the amount of milk to 20oz and added a whole 12oz bottle of beer instead and I omitted the worceshire sauce. We had it for supper tonight with some fresh baked bread. It was great!

Cheddar Cheese Soup

Misty Kaiser from WHITEHOUSE, TX

We had mixed reviews on this one in my house. I thought it was VERY overpowering w/beer flavor and exetremely thick. My husband thought it was great. I am going to try it again w/water instead of beer.

Cold day warmer

My husband loved it and it was a cinch to make. I wish it had less fat, though! Will make again on another cold winter day. Just can't eat too often as we count the ugly fat grams!!
Cheddar Cheese "Gravy"

Linda Rice from WHARTON, NJ

Put in a "Gravy Boat" & Serve over wide egg noodle, as a delicious side dish with any main course. Or over brocolli, as a veggie side. I even use it when making leftover casseroles.
Perfect for a cold raining day!

Helena Georgette Mann from LOOMIS, CA

My husband and I really liked this soup. We had it with crumbled bacon on top, toasted sourdough bread and fresh vegetables. I add 1 cup n/a beer and 1/2 cup water. It would also make a good dipping sauce-fondue like or a cheese sauce as others have suggested. Thanks!

Creamy & Good

NANCI WILSON from NEWBURGH, NY

Since Cheese Soup is my favorite soup (I don't like too many), I found this to be very good. I did leave out the cayenne pepper & added a bit more cheese (I'm a cheesaholic).

Hot And Delicious

Kathy McDonald from GREENVILLE, SC

I made this soup for dinner the other night. It was cold and rainy and I was really pressed for time.I had been saving this recipe for an evening like that. It went together so quickly that I was amazed. It was really delicious. I threw a loaf of french bread in the oven to serve with it. It was a wonderful meal in a short amount of time. My family loved it! Especially with the bacon and green onions.I will definately make this again.Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas.

What a great tummy warmer on a cold wintery day! I added a little Habanero Cheddar Cheese to the recipe and the peppery taste enhanced the crusty bread and the bacon.

INCREDIBLE Cheddar Cheese Coup

Ms. Blaschuk from FARMINGDALE, NY

WOW! This was even better than I thought it would be. My husband thought it was hysterical that I had to buy beer for the recipe, but he really liked it too. I grilled a ham steak and served it with it for a great combination comfort meal. If you are looking to try something new and delicious, THIS IS the RECIPE FOR YOU!

Why bother to buy canned soups? This cheddar Cheese Soup is wonderful! Full, rich flavor and much better tasting and better for you than the can you normally pick up in the store!
Cheese soup

Kay Dunne from Dawsonville, GA

This soup was very good. I only used half of the flour called for, because I watch my carbs. Also I used water instead of beer. It had good flavor. The second time I made it, I added cooked chopped brocolli, and it was great.
cheddar cheese soup

Mary VanDonselaar from HUBBARD, NE

I liked this soup pretty well, although I would omit the beer next time or maybe cut down on the amount. I liked the consistancy very much. I added bacon bits and cracked black pepper. It was a snap to prepare.
