I watched an episode of Johnson and Wales cooking with beer. They made a Beer Cheese soup, but I can't remember the recipe or can find it on the internet. Does anyone have that recipe or any good beer cheese soup recipe?

    Here is one way.

    INGREDIENTS:
    6 cups milk
    2 12 Ozs Cans Beer, divided
    1 40 Ozs Pkg Process cheese spread

    3 dashes hot sauce, or to taste
    1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    garlic/onion croutons, for garnish




    Procedure:

    hmmm, thanks, Richard. When it says 40 Ozs Pkg Process cheese spread I assume that is the product commonly known as Cheese Whiz...or am I wrong? We have a local Irish restaurant that makes a great beer/cheese soup and just reading the ingredients makes me want to yell BINGO - bet that's a close enough start to matching their recipe!

    I have never made this recipe, but in previous cheese soup attempts I use Velvetta or some times some grated SHARP cheddar. Cheese Whiz probably would work like velvetta.

    I didn't see the show, so I don't know how close this is to theirs, but this is the one we've been making for years.

    Thank you for the recipe. I seem to remember something about caraway seeds and onions being sauteed. Then beer some other ingrediants then cheese. I'll try and email them and find out.
