There is nothing like a bowl of warm soup on a chilly evening. Soup is one of my favorite comfort foods. This Beer Cheese Soup Recipe is amazing. The dark beer really adds an extra depth of flavor.

Beer Cheese Soup

This has been one of the strangest winters I have ever experienced in New Mexico. It is so dry and there is not much snow except a little in the Southern Rocky Mountains (northern part of our state). Our ski areas are in desperate need of moisture. Send snow thoughts our way please. We would even settle for rain at this point. The temperatures are still not as cold as normal. This is some freaky weather we are experiencing. However, the evenings are cool enough for a bowl of warm soup. This tasty dish was inspired by a trip I took to Colorado some time ago. I had a tasty bowl of beer cheese soup at a small brewery. It was so tasty that I came home and tried to duplicate it. It is not the same, I made mine chunky and added some fresh herbs. The cheesy soup is some great stuff! The key to this soup is using a good quality cheddar cheese. And please grate your own. Why? Because the shredded cheese you buy as anti-caking agents. This doesn't work well when trying to make a smooth creamy soup. Store bought shredded cheese will cause it to have little tiny clumps in the soup. You can't always see them but you can taste them. So take a little extra time and grate your own cheese for this recipe. You will thank me later - I promise. The soup is fabulous. For a full meal serve it with a side salad or grilled cheese. YUM! Happy New Year - wishing you more blessings than a heart can hold in the New Year ahead. Until next time Bon Appetit, Cecelia
